What is the Electron-pair Geometry and Molecular Geometry of :
A) ClF2+
B)SOBr4
1 Answer
-
Clf2+ has the same shape as water (bent), with 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs.
O=SBr4 has 6 bonding pairs (two form a double bond) and the geometry will be trigonal bipyramidal. I dare say the oxygen will adopt an equatorial, rather than an axial, position.
