Jul 14, 2010 · Hey guys, I was just doing MCAT Elite Practice Test 2, and came across this issue. I know that "electron geometry" refers to terms that include lone pairs, "molecular geometry" …

Aug 9, 2013 · For example, it is the electron geometry of water that influences its molecular "bent" shape and influences its polar properties. In your question Si has the same number of valence …

Jun 8, 2009 · I am getting really confused about this whole molecular geometry vs electronic geometry mixed with hybridizations etc. Here are a few questions if anyone can plz clarify for …

May 20, 2010 · IF4- has 5 electron domains (1 lone pair of e-'s) or sp3d hybridization. Electron domain geometry will be trigonal bipyramidal. Since it is attached to 4 atoms and has one lone …

Jul 27, 2006 · True or False? Electronic geometry includes lone pairs in configuration and molecular geometry only include atoms connected. So that NH3 electronic geometry is …

Oct 2, 2008 · Therefore the electron geometry is tetrahedral (four areas of electron density) and the molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (three single bonds to three atoms and one lone …

May 26, 2013 · If you try to visualize the arrangements of bond pairs and lone pairs with the goal of minimizing electron repulsion, I find the shapes make sense so long as you remember the …

Jun 15, 2002 · The molecular shape is bent though because the lone pair of electrons push down on the bonds making the overall shape bent and hence the angle will be somewhat less than …

Jun 9, 2009 · Hi, I get the difference between the two -- but which does the MCAT prefer us to use? For instance, when it asks: what is the shape of the molecule XeF4, does it want us to …

Apr 13, 2015 · On Dat Destryoer Gen Chem number 42. It asked which molecules where linear ? But one of the choices was HCl .... I chose that HCl was not linear but rather tetrahedral. Well …
