Question

12 multiple choice 1 point which type of molecular shape is shown by this molecule? trigonal pyramidal bent tetrahedral trigonal planar

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A trigonal planar molecule has three - bonded atoms around a central atom with no lone pairs. A bent molecule has a central atom with lone pairs causing a non - linear shape. A tetrahedral molecule has four bonded atoms around a central atom. A trigonal pyramidal molecule has three bonded atoms and one lone pair around a central atom. In the given model, there are three bonded atoms around a central atom with no lone pairs, which is characteristic of a trigonal planar shape.

Answer:

trigonal planar
