A central atom has two lone pairs on opposite sides and four single bonds. What is the molecule geometry of the result?

Chemistry

The molecular geometry is square planar.

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR), the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of valence electrons surrounding the outermost shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In this case, the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory is octahedral. However, the lone pairs on opposite sides of the four single bonds leads to a square planar molecular geometry.

Why are most organic compounds nonconducting and insoluble in water?
maksim [4K]
I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are the second and the last options. Organic compounds are nonducting and insoluble in water because of the bonds that these compounds contain. Most organic compounds don't dissolve in water because they are nonpolar. They don't conduct electricity because they are covalent, not ionic.

Explain the difference between molecule and compound
nadya68 [22]
Answer:
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds.

Good luck !

When electrons are filling energy levels, the lowest energy sublevels are occupied first. This is ____________.
Nimfa-mama [501]

When electrons are filling energy levels, the lowest energy sublevels are occupied first. This is Hund's rule.

Hund's rules state that:

Every orbital in a sublevel has to be singularly occupied before any other orbital is able to be doubly occupied.

All of the electrons in single occupied orbitals have to have the same spin to maximize the total spin.
