Determine the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of .

a) eg = bent, mg = bent

b) eg = tetrahedral, mg = trigonal planar

c) eg = trigonal pyramidal, mg = trigonal pyramidal

d) eg = tetrahedral, mg = tetrahedral

e) eg = trigonal planar, mg = trigonal planar

Answer : The correct option is, (e) eg = trigonal planar, mg = trigonal planar

Explanation :

Formula used  :

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

The given molecule is,

That means,

Bond pair = 3

Lone pair = 0

The number of electron pair are 3 that means the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of  is, trigonal planar and trigonal planar respectively.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
