Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true about electronic geometry? (Select all that apply.)

Electronic geometry is the same as Molecular Geometry.

Electronic geometries are dependent upon electronegativities of bonded atoms.

Determining the electronic geometry is the last step before determining whether a molecule is polar.

Electronic geometry is dependent upon the number of electron domains around a central atom.

Electronic geometry is only dependent upon the number of sigma bonds around a central atom.

Explanation / Answer

Electronic geometry is the same as Molecular Geometry.
False. Molecular geometry doesn’t take lone pairs while predicting but electronic geometry does.
Electronic geometries are dependent upon electronegativities of bonded atoms.
