Question

14. The valence shell of the
central atom of a molecule has
four bond-pairs of electrons.
Shape of the molecule is
a) Tetrahedral b) Linear c)Plane Triangular
d)Square Planar​

Answer 1

Answer:

B linear as valence shell of central

Answer 2

Answer:

tetrahedral

Explanation:

For example; four electron pairs are distributed in a tetrahedral shape. If these are all bond pairs the molecular geometry is tetrahedral (e.g. CH4). If there is one lone pair of electrons and three bond pairs the resulting molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (e.g. NH3).
