PH3 forms a trigonal pyramid ClO4- forms a perfectly regular trigonal pyramid, known as a tetrahedron BeCl2 ~APEX
PCL5: Trigonal bipyramidal shape PH3: Trigonal pyramidal shape OF2: Bent shape ClO4-: Tetrahedral shape
BeCl2
Among the molecules and ions listed, BeCl₂ (beryllium chloride) has a linear geometry due to its sp hybridization and the presence of two bonding pairs and no lone pairs of electrons. In contrast, PCl₅ (phosphorus pentachloride) has a trigonal bipyramidal shape, ClO₄⁻ (perchlorate) is tetrahedral, and PH₃ (phosphine) has a trigonal pyramidal shape. Thus, only BeCl₂ exhibits a linear molecular geometry.
Perchlorate ion (ClO4-) is colorless.
Parent Shape: Trigonal bipyrimidal Actual shape: Trigonal Planar
Cu(ClO4)2 dissociates into Cu2+ ions and 2 ClO4- ions in solution. This results in the breakdown of the copper perchlorate compound into its constituent ions when dissolved in water. The balanced equation for the dissociation of Cu(ClO4)2 is: Cu(ClO4)2 -> Cu2+ + 2 ClO4-.
This is a linear molecule.
The formula for magnesium perchlorate is Mg(ClO4)2.
The chemical symbol for perchlorate is ClO4-.
linear
The molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule is linear. Magnesium has a +2 charge, while hydride has a -1 charge, resulting in a linear molecular shape.
