A molecule with 2 single bonds and 3 lone pair of electrons is predicted to have which type of moleculary geometry
A) Octahedral
B) T-shaped
C) Seesaw
D) Trigonal bipyramidal
E) Linear

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A molecule with 2 single bonds and 3 lone pairs will have a linear geometry according to the VSEPR theory, as the lone pairs will occupy equatorial positions in a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement, leaving the two bonded atoms 180 degrees apart.
