Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.
1 answer:
Answer: C) Tetrahedral
Explanation:
The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.
Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be .
Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be .
Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be .
Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be .

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
