Which of the following structure of a molecule is expected to have three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons?
Octahedral
Trigonal planar
Pyramidal
Tetrahedral
The trigonal bipyramidal geometry results from the hybridisation :
dsp3 or sp3d
dsp2 or sp2d
d2sp3 or sp3d2
d3p2 or d2p3
The molecule having smallest bond angle is :
H2O
H2S
NH3
H2Te
D.
H2Te
Among the given options, H2Te has the smallest bond angle.
Hydrides | NH3 | H2O | H2S | H2Se | H2Te |
Bond angles | 107° | 105° | 92° | 91° | 90° |
sp3d hybridization results in :
a square planar molecule
an octahedron molecule
a trigonal bipyramidal molecule
a tetrahedron molecule
