Which VSEPR formula would predict a trigonal bipyramidal shape?
Ax5
Is AlCl3 a trigonal planar?
It depends on the phase and the temperature Solid AlCl3 has each aluminium is 6 coordinate, surrounded by 6 chlorine atoms in an octahedral formation. The best description here is a ionic bonding. Interestingly just below melt temperature the conductivity rises indicating free ions. AlCl3 in the melt is found as dimer Al2Cl6 with four coordinate aluminium. Two chlorines bridging the aluminium atoms. In this aluminium achieves its octet and the bond angles are in line with VSEPR theory. At high temperature the dimers dissociate to monomeric AlCl3 which is trigonal planar, following VSEPR theory.
What is the bond angle and the molecular geometry of NO3?
120o. The polyatomic ion is planar with a trigonal molecular geometry, a nitrogen atom with 3 equidistant O atoms at near 122 pm. All predictable ny VSEPR. The short bond length is attributed to pi bonding, the negative charge is spread across the three O atoms.
What is the molecular shape of H2So3?
The shape around S is trigonal pyramidal. Direction of deviation is less than ideal. The shape around O-H is bent (V-shaped). Direction of deviation less than ideal.
What is the molecular geometry for BrF4?
When you do the VSEPR you get 6pairs of electron pairs and two lone pairs which means that when you look at the geometrical shape (by looking at how many pairs of electrons you got and in this cases its 6) the shape is octahedral but the molecular shape is square planar because you only have four atoms bonding and two lone pairs which means that the lone pairs have to be as far from each other as possible so they go on the two ends ( one on top and one on the bottom) which leavs the shape to be a square planar! i hope this helps you good luck. --------- TL;DR: Square Planar.
VSEPR formulas would predict a tetrahedral shape?
trigonal planar
What VSEPR formulas would predict a trigonal bipyramidal shape?
A^6
What VSEPR shape does BF3 have?
It would be trigonal planar, with bond angles of 120º.
What is the shape of BH3 molecule?
BH3 has a trigonal planar shape with 120 angles.
What is the molecular shape for Br2 in VSEPR theory?
It has a linear shape
Which VSEPR formula would predict a trigonal bipyramidal shape?
Ax5
Is so3 ionic or covalent compounds?
SO3 sulfur trioxide is covalent. There are S=O bonds and the molecule is trigonal planar as predicted by VSEPR.
Vsepr theory to predict molecular geometry of h3o hydronium ion co3 2- sf6?
it shows tetrahedral geometry for the electron pairs geometry and trigonal pyramid the molecular geometry.
BCl3 H2O NH3 and PCl3 which is non-polar?
BCl3 is non-polar. The B-Cl bonds are polar but the molecule is not. You should review shapes of molecules. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, VSEPR. Applying VSEPR on BCl3, we can find out that the shape of the molecule is trigonal planar. Due to its geometry, the bonds cancel out.
What is the electron geometry for SF4?
trigonal bipyramidal, there are 5 e- by VSEPR method
What does vsepr theory tell us about a molecule?
VSEPR predict the geometry of a chemical molecule.
What is the polarity of SbCl5?
SbCl5 is non-polar because it has a Trigonal Bipyramid VSEPR shape
