What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with three bonding pairs and no lone pairs around the central atom?
Tetrahedral
Trigonal planar
Linear
Octahedral
Spiegazione
In a molecule with three bonding pairs and no lone pairs around the central atom, the electron pairs arrange themselves in a trigonal planar geometry, with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees.
