Question

identify the possible molecule shapes that could result from each of the hybrid orbitals given. check all that apply. sp² - orbitals bent tetrahedral trigonal planar done

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

$sp^{2}$ - hybridized central atoms have three hybrid orbitals. When there are no lone - pairs on the central atom, the molecular shape is trigonal planar. When there is one lone - pair on the central atom, the molecular shape is bent. Tetrahedral is associated with $sp^{3}$ hybridization.

Answer:

bent, trigonal planar
