What is the most important factor determining the geometry of a molecule or an ion?
The geometry of the molecule actually determines number of electron pairs on the central atom. The electron pairs will be arranged in such a way to minimize the repulsion and therefore, have the lowest possible energy.
What is the molecular geometry of sulfite ion?
trigonal bipyramidal
What is the probable ion formed from Br?
Br-. Bromine will grab an electron to make itself more stable, which makes it a negative ion.
What is the molecular geometry for N3?
This neutral (no charge) molecule has a bent linear geometry or an angular geometry, based on its Lewis structure, ::N=N=N:. (with a total of 15 valence electrons), with the dots representing electrons in non-bonding pairs, except for the one unpaired electron. It has a linear molecular geometry, because, as shown, it has only two electron domains or regions (around its central atom), which are more stably situated 180 degrees away from each other (according to the VSEPR theory). Note: The person asking this question seems to be asking for N3 with no charge on it; but I suspect s/he meant to ask for the azide ion, (N3)-, which would have 16 valence electrons, and that would also give a linear molecular structure.
What does '' plus '' mean in element?
A positive ion or an atom that has been stripped off one electron.
The hybridization of the valence electrons on the nitrogen atom in NO 21 is The electron pair geometry is and the shape of the ion is?
The hybridization of the valence electrons on the nitrogen atom in NO+ is sp. The electron pair geometry is linear, and the shape of the ion is also linear.
What is the electron pair geometry for ammonium ion?
The electron pairs in an ammonium ion are disposed along the four lines from the center of a tetrahedron to the four corners of the tetrahedron, with the nitrogen atom at the center of the tetrahedron.
What is the electron pair geometry for CO3 -2?
The electron pair geometry for CO3^2- is trigonal planar. This is because there are three electron domains around the central carbon atom, resulting in a flat, triangular arrangement.
What is the electron pair geometry for so3?
The molecular geometry of the AsO2- ion is bent (because of the lone electron pair with the central arsenic atom, making the O-As-O bond angle very obtuse) but its electron domain geometry is trigonal planar because there are three domains, with a 120 deg. angle between them.
Define electron repulsion?
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.
What is the number of lone electron pairs in the NO2- ion?
The NO2- ion has one lone electron pair.
What is true about the ion ICl4-?
ICl4-'s electron domain geometry is octahedral.
What is the formula for phospate?
a phosphate ion is PO43-
What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
Valency of phosphate?
The valency of phosphate is -3, as it usually forms compounds by acquiring three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
S2F2 is polar or non polar?
Think of the sulfite ion as a molecule with its geometry and dipole moment AND a net charge. The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal and because of its asymmetrical shape and polar bonds, sulfite has a net dipole moment (2.04D ). The ion is polar.
What is the symbol for phosphate ion?
No such thing as hypophosphate do u mean hypophosphite which is PO???
