Question
- which molecular geometry is associated with a central atom having six bonding pairs and no lone pairs? a. trigonal planar b. tetrahedral c. octahedral d. bent
Brief Explanations
Trigonal planar has 3 bonding pairs and 0 lone - pairs. Tetrahedral has 4 bonding pairs and 0 lone - pairs. Bent can have 2 bonding pairs and 1 or 2 lone - pairs. An octahedral molecular geometry occurs when a central atom has six bonding pairs and no lone pairs.
