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
Explanation:
Metals and non-metals can be identified either by their position in the periodic table or by their properties.
he metal elements are found on the left hand side of the periodic table, and the non-metal elements are found on the right. You can imagine a zig-zag line, starting at B-Al-Si, separating metals from non-metals.
Phosphorus tribromide is a covalent compound because they share electron pairs.
I don’t understand the question sorry
