The space model which is obtained by joining the points representing various bonded atoms gives the shape of the molecule. The geometry of the molecule is definite relative arrangement of the bonded atoms in a molecule. The shape and geometry of a molecule is explained by valence shell electron pair repulsion theory given by Gillespia and Nyholm.
Which is not the electron geometry of covalent molecules ?
- Pentagonal bipyramidal
- Octahedral
- Hexagonal
- Tetrahedral
Answer
(C) Hexagonal
