Question

Fill in the blanks Geometry of molecule un SP3 hybridisection
is_______
​

Answer 1

It contains two lone pairs and two bond pairs. Hence, it is angular in shape.

The type of hybridisation present in chlorine is sp3 . The central chlorine atom has 2 lone pairs of electrons and 2 bonding domains (one single bond and one double bond). This requires four hybrid orbitals which are obtained from sp3 hybridisation.

Answer 2

By VSEPR theory

Explanation:

VSEPR THEORY IS THE RIGHT ANSWER
