∙ 13y agoThe shape of a molecule only describes the arrangement of bonds around a central atom. The arrangement of electron pairs describes how both the bonding and nonbonding electron pair are arranged. For example, in its molecular shape, a water molecule is describes as bent, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. However, the arrangement of electron pairs around the oxygen atom is tetrahedral as there are two bonding pairs (shared with the hydrogen) and also two nonbonding pairs.

The lone pair electron region is the place around the central atom where electrons not bonding with another atom can be found. A lone pair of electrons are electrons that are not bonded with other atoms.
0%. If it is bonded leather it is bonded leather and not plastic!
Yes, geometric isomers have different spatial arrangements around a double bond. They occur when atoms or groups are bonded in different orientations on either side of the double bond, leading to cis-trans isomerism.
The structural formula of a polyatomic ion shows the arrangement of atoms within the ion, including their connections and bonds. It provides information on the overall charge of the ion and the distribution of electrons within the ion's structure.
A molecule with four bonded atoms and no lone pairs on the central atom will have a tetrahedral shape. This occurs when the central atom is bonded to four other atoms, resulting in equal distances between the atoms, leading to a tetrahedral shape due to the arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom.
CdCl4 2- is a tetrahedral shape. The central cadmium ion is bonded to four chloride ions in a tetrahedral arrangement.

The chemical formula for thiosulfate radical is S2O3^2-. It consists of a central sulfur atom bonded to three oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement.
A Chinese takeaway
The steric number of carbon disulfide is 2. This is because carbon has two bonded atoms (sulfur), and there are no lone pairs around the central carbon atom. The steric number is determined by the sum of bonded atoms and lone pairs around the central atom.
Yes, formaldehyde is planar in its structure, consisting of a central carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms, an oxygen atom, and a hydrogen atom. This arrangement creates a flat, planar molecule.
A tetrahedral complex of the type MA2B2 does not show geometrical isomerism because the ligands are the same and located in identical positions relative to the metal center, resulting in the same spatial arrangement. Geometrical isomerism arises when there is restricted rotation around a bond, leading to different spatial arrangements of ligands.
The molecular shape for CH3Cl is tetrahedral. The carbon atom at the center is bonded to three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom, resulting in a tetrahedral arrangement of atoms around the central carbon atom.
