Question

1) Give the number of total electron groups, the number of bonding groups, and the number of lone pairs for (a) geometry.

Express your answers as integers separated by commas.

2) Give the number of total electron groups, the number of bonding groups, and the number of lone pairs for (b) geometry.

Express your answers as integers separated by commas.

3)Give the number of total electron groups, the number of bonding groups, and the number of lone pairs for (c) geometry.

Express your answers as integers separated by commas.

Explanation / Answer

(a) The total no. of electron groups are = 6

No. of bonding groups = 6

No .of lone pairs = 0

geometry(shape) = Octahedral

Answer ( 6, 6,0 )

b)

The total no. of electron groups are = 6

No. of bonding groups = 4

No .of lone pairs = 2

geometry(shape) = square planar

Answer ( 6, 4, 2 )

c)

The total no. of electron groups are = 5

No. of bonding groups =4

No .of lone pairs = 1

geometry (shape)= See saw

answer ( 5, 4, 1)
