Question

question 11 (1 point) using vsepr theory, predict the shape of a molecule with 3 bonding pairs and no lone pairs of electrons. bent trigonal pyramidal trigonal planar tetrahedral

Explanation:

VSEPR (Valence - Shell Electron - Pair Repulsion) theory states that electron pairs around a central atom will arrange themselves to minimize repulsion. When a molecule has 3 bonding pairs and no lone pairs of electrons, the bonding pairs spread out as far as possible in a plane around the central atom, resulting in a trigonal planar shape.

Answer:

B. trigonal planar
