Question

question 16 (0.5 points)
the following shape has 1 reds, 2 are bonding and 3 are nonbonding. the shape is called 4 and the bond angles are 5.
a. 0 b. 1 c. 2 d. 3 e. 4 f. 5 g. 6 h. diatomic
i. linear j. planar trigonal k. bent l. tetrahedral m. pyramidal
n. hexahedral o. seesaw p. t - shape q. octahedral r. square pyramidal
s. square planar t. 90° u. 109.5° v. 120° w. 180°
x. 90°, 120°, and 180° y. 90° and 180°

Explanation:

• REDs (Region of Electron Density): Count the total electron - density regions (bonding and non - bonding). In this case, there are 6 (2 bonding to the green atoms and 4 non - bonding pairs).
• Bonding REDs: There are 2 (the two green atoms bonded to the central red atom).
• Non - bonding REDs: There are 4 (the four blue non - bonding electron pairs).
• Shape Name: The shape with 6 REDs (2 bonding and 4 non - bonding) is called square planar.
• Bond Angles: In a square planar geometry, the bond angles are \(90^{\circ}\) (between adjacent ligands in the plane) and \(180^{\circ}\) (for ligands opposite each other in the plane).

Answer:

1. G. 6
2. C. 2
3. F. 4
4. S. square planar
5. Y. \(90^{\circ}\) and \(180^{\circ}\)
