The electron domain geometry is trigonal bipyramidal while the molecular geometry of the compound is seesaw.

The shapes of molecules is determined by the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. These electron domains include lone pairs and bond pairs.

The lone pairs only contribute towards the electron domain geometry and not the molecular geometry. SCl4 has five electron domains hence its electron domain geometry is trigonal bipyramidal. The molecular geometry of the compound is seesaw.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

8.81 g Carbon

91.2 g Chlorine

Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol

Required

The empirical formula and molecular formula

Solution

Mol ratio :

C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733

Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572

Divide by 0.733

C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula

(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5

(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5

(272.193)n=1362.5

n = 5
