Question
A. What is the electron-pair geometry for N in NICl2?There are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the molecular geometry (shape) of NICl2 is .B. What is the electron-pair geometry for P in POCl3?here are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the molecular geometry (shape) of POCl3 is .
Solution
A. The electron-pair geometry for N in NiCl2 is octahedral. There are no lone pairs around the central atom, so the molecular geometry (shape) of NiCl2 is octahedral.
B. The electron-pair geometry for P in POCl3 is tetrahedral. There is one lone pair around the central atom, so the molecular geometry (shape) of POCl3 is trigonal pyramidal.
