Question

what is the bond angles in 50 sncl2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both of these molecules have 3 regions of electron density: 2 bonding regions and one lone pair. As a result the geometry would be similar to that of a trigonal planar molecule but the angles would have to be <120 to account for the additional space taken up by the lone pair.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hello friend,

Here's your answer:

MgCl2 is linear because

i) Mg has a valency of 2.

ii) So it can form only 2 single bonds with Cl. Hence it is Linear. The structure is (1) in the pic.

SnCl2 is angular becuase

i) Sn has a valency of 4.

ii) So it can form 4 single bonds. But only two Cl's are there. Other is Loan pair. The structure is (2) I pic

iii) Because of Bond pair and Loan Pair replulsion. The structure changes to (3) in pic.
