If the symbol x represents a central atom, y represents outer atoms, and z represents lone pairs on the central atom, the structure the central x atom is single bonded to two y atoms, which are 180 degrees apart. The x atom has two lone pairs. Could be abbreviated as xy2z2. Classify each molecule according to its shape.

Respuesta :

XY2Z - linear

XY2Z2 - bent(120)

XY2Z3 - bent(109)

XY3Z -  trigonal pyramidal

XY3Z2 - t-shaped

XY4Z -  see-saw

XY4Z2 - square planar

XY5Z - square pyramidal

Linear shape: A linear molecule is one that has its atoms arranged in a straight line.

Bent shape: One type of bent molecular geometry features a center atom with two lone pairs of electrons and two bond pairs attached to it. Other names for it include angular and V-shaped.

Trigonal pyramidal: A trigonal pyramid is a molecular shape that resembles a tetrahedron and has one atom at the top and three at the corners of the base.

T-Shaped: When a central atom has three ligands, the structure of the molecule is said to have a T-shaped molecular geometry.

See-saw: This shape is caused by a lone pair of electrons on the central atom.

Square planar: In square planar molecular geometry, constituent atoms create the square's four corners on the same plane and surround the center atom.
