Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule H₂Se (H2Se) has a tetrahedral electron geometry due to the presence of two bonding pairs and two lone pairs on the selenium atom. The molecular geometry is bent because of the repulsion between the lone pairs, and the hybridization is sp^3 to accommodate the four regions of electron density.
