A molecule,that is sp³d hybridized and has a molecular geometry of seesaw,has ________ bonding groups and ________ lone pairs around its central atom. A) 5, 1 B) 4, 2 C) 4, 1 D) 3, 2 E) 2, 3

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A seesaw molecular geometry arises from a molecule with a steric number of 5 (indicating sp^3d hybridization), which means it has 5 total electron groups around the central atom. For a seesaw shape, there are 4 bonding groups and 1 lone pair.
