Determine the electron geometry (eg)and molecular geometry (mg)of SiBr₄. A) eg = tetrahedral, mg = trigonal pyramidal B) eg = octahedral, mg = square planar C) eg = trigonal bipyramidal, mg = trigonal bipyramidal D) eg = tetrahedral, mg = bent E) eg = tetrahedral, mg = tetrahedral

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule SiBr4 has a central silicon atom with four bromine atoms attached, forming a tetrahedral electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) since there are no lone pairs on the central atom, maintaining the tetrahedral shape.
