trigonal bipyramidal, there are 5 e- by VSEPR method
It has a bent structure just like the H2O and H2S.
Its actually electron pair repulsion. Its the principle that electron pairs around a central atom tend to orient themselves as far apart as possible. Electron pair repulsion is used to predict the geometry of a molecule or a polyatomic ion.
Trigonal Pyramidal resulting from 3 bonded pairs and 1 non-bonded pair
They can use geometry by using angles and certain polygons/polyhedra.
tetrahedral
trigonal planar
3 bondings + 1 electron pair = 4 (electron domains)
The shape of PF3 is trigonal bipyramidal. The geometric diagram determines this shape. Its electron domain geometry and molecular geometry are also the same.
molecular geometry is bent, electron geometry is tetrahedral
In a molecule of phosphorus fluoride, the phosphorus atom is in the center, and it is surrounded by the three fluoride atoms which are arranged at three of the four points of a tetrahedron. (The fourth point of the tetrahedron contains an electron pair from the phosphorus atom.)
The electron geometry (and also, the molecular geometry) of PF5 is Trigonal Bipyramidal.
PCl3 has more polar bonds than PF3 because chlorine is more electronegative than fluorine, resulting in greater electron density towards chlorine in PCl3.
The electron pair geometry for CS2 is Linear.
The electron-domain geometry of PF6 is Octahedral, since the central atom Phosphorus has an electron pair geometry which is octahedral
I'm unsure what the electron pair geometry is but the molecular geometry is Trigonal Planar.
electron pair geometry: octahedral molecular geometry: octahedral
