The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.

As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.

The hybridisation sp³ makes  electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its  molecular geometry bent

Answer:

the electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral.

Explanation:

There are four pair of electrons on oxygen central atom, these electron pairs are arranged in tetrahedral manner and thus electron geometry is tetrahedral.

The hybridization is sp³ and thus there are four hybridized orbitals,

However there are two bonded electron pairs and two lone pair of electrons.

Thus the two hydrogen atoms are arranged in bent shape.

Explain why beryllium looses electrons while ionic bonds,while Sulfur gains electrons.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Since Beryllium has a larger atomic radius than Sulphur its electrons are not strongly attracted to the nucleus hence lost easily. But Sulphur has a small atomic radius hence electrons are more closely attracted to the nucleus.
