Question

38.Using VSEPR theory, match each generalized molecule below with the correct descriptions on the right. Some of the descriptions may match more than one molecule or none of the molecules. Recall that A-the central atom, B a bonding atom, and E- a lone pair of electrons Molecule Description I. AB2E a. sp hybridization of central atom i. Tetrahedral molecular geometry 11. AB2E2 b. sp2 hybridization of central atom rgonal planar molecular geometry III. AB2Es c. sp hybridization of central atom k. T-shaped molecular geometry IV. AB3E d. sp'd hybridization of central atom 1. Seesaw molecular geometry e. sp'd' hybridization of central atom m. Square pyramidal molecular geometry f. Linear molecular geometry g. Bent molecular geometry n. Square planar molecular geometry o. Octahedral molecular geometry h. Trigonal pyramidal A) I. a, f B) 1, b, g C) 1, b, g D) I. c, g E) I. a, g II c, f II. c, g II. d, I II. d, g II. b, g IV.c.j IV.c, h IV. e,l IV. c, h IV.d, h

Explanation / Answer

Option B

Since AB2E - SO2- SP2 - Bent geometry

AB2E-H2O-sp3,bent geometry

AB2E3-XeF2-sp3d-linear geometry

AB3E-NH3-Sp3-trigonal pyramidal
