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

d2sp3 or sp3d2
d3p2 or d2p3
Electrons in a paramagnetic compound are :
shared
upaired
donated
paired
B.
upaired
Electrons in a paramagentic compound are unpaired.
sp3d hybridization results in :
a square planar molecule
an octahedron molecule
a trigonal bipyramidal molecule
a tetrahedron molecule
