Question

what is the shape of the following molecular structure? options: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramid, trigonal pyramidal (image shows a molecular structure with a central atom and three bonded atoms)

Explanation:

The molecular structure shown has a central atom bonded to three other atoms in a flat, triangular arrangement, which matches the trigonal planar geometry. Trigonal planar structures have bond angles of approximately 120° and all atoms lie in the same plane.

Answer:

B. Trigonal planar
