Chapter 1, Problem 11CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value“close to 180° ” or “close to 120° ” should be assigned to each bond angle marked with a dotted line.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular geometry is the 3D representation of the molecule in space. As the Lewis model is not able to explain the shape of the molecules. In terms of electron density, the bonding electrons, as well as lone pairs of electrons, holds the shape of the molecule. Molecular geometry describes the shape as well as bond angles and bond lengths.
