What is the molecular geometry of c2h4cl2?

C2H4Cl2 (dichloroethane) has tetrahedral geometry around both carbon atoms. The geometry can be changed from free rotation to restricted rotation which has the formula of C2H2Cl2.


What is the molcular geometry of NH4?

The molecular geometry of NH4+ is tetrahedral. This is because NH4+ has four bonding regions (four hydrogen atoms bonding with the central nitrogen atom) and no lone pairs of electrons on the central nitrogen atom.


What is the molecular geometry of Trinitrotoluene around each central atom?

Trinitrotoluene TNT is an aromatic compound. Four groups are attached to the central benzene ring, one -CH3, and three -NO2 along with two hydrogen atoms. Each is attached to an sp2 hybridised carbon so the molecular geometry of each carbon atom is trigonal planar with a bon angle of 120 0
