How many lone pairs are on the central atom in rm BCl 3?
No lone pairs
What determines the molecular geometry of a molecule?
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom
Why is CH4 three dimensional rather than two dimensional?
Basically this is because each of the electron pairs in a carbon atom tends to get away as far as possible from each of the other three electron pairs.
What is the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of CBr4?
There are no lone pairs and it's tetrahedral.
What is the spatial arrangement of lone pairs and bonded pairs around the central atom?
electron-group geometry Apex!
What atom spread out around a central atom?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
What makes atom spread out around a central atom?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
Atom and solar system equal?
The atom and the solar system are not equal. The solar system contains the sun and the other planets.
How many electron pairs are on the boron atom in BCl3?
There are exactly three electron pairs attached to the Boron atom, each one of them bonded to a chlorine atom as well.
How many non bonding pairs does a Fluorine atom have?
3 non bonding pairs. Fluorine is in group 17 and has an outer shell configuration of 2s2, 2p5. Just one electron in the fluorine atom is unpaired the other 6 are paired
How many other pairs of atoms can carbon share its electrons with?
a carbon atom can share electrons with up to four other atoms.
How many lone pairs does SF6 have on central atom?
Every pair of electrons on the central atom (S) of the Lewis structure of SF6 is shared by an F atom, so therefore there are no lone pairs on the central atom.
What makes atoms spread out around a central atom?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
What Makes atoms spread around a central atom?
The shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
What makes atoms spread out around central atom?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
What do you call an atom that travels in pairs?
compound
What is the VSEPR theory of CO2?
The VSEPR theory, sometimes pronounced 'vesper', stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. It states that repulsion between the sets of electron bond pairs surrounding an atom in a compound causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible, giving the compound a certain shape. "Valence electron pairs will move as far apart from each other as possible."
