Question

If compound A is equilibrium with compound B, what is the electron domain and molecular geometry around the oxygen atom of molecules using VSEPR? explain domain geometry and molecular geometry

Answer 1

Count the total number of electron domains. Use the angular arrangement of the chemical bonds between the atoms to determine the molecular geometry. Keep in mind, multiple bonds (i.e., double bonds, triple bonds) count as one electron domain. In other words, a double bond is one domain
