Question

Determine the electron geometry and molecular geometry of KrF2 according to VSEPR theory.

electron geometry = tetrahedral and molecular geometry = bent

electron geometry = linear and molecular geometry = linear

electron geometry = octahedral and molecular geometry = linear

electron geometry = trigonal bipyramidal and molecular geometry = linear

electron geometry = trigonal bipyramidal and molecular geometry = bent

Answer 1

Lewis structure of Kr fe is :. Central atom Kr has ? bond pairs and 3 lone pairs. : Steric number = sum of number of bond - pairs and lone pairs = 2 + 3 = 5 .: Steric number = 5 :. electron geometry is trigonal bypyramidal K l one pairs are at equatorial positions L ": :. Molecular geometry is linear Answer :- electron geometry = brigonal bipyramidal and molecular geometry = linear
