Question

question 8 (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 (Regions of Electron Density): Count the total number of electron - density regions (bonding and non - bonding). In this case, there are 6.
• Bonding REDs: Count the number of atoms bonded to the central atom. There are 5.
• Non - bonding REDs: Calculate by subtracting the number of bonding REDs from the total REDs. \(6 - 5=1\).
• Shape Name: The shape with 6 REDs (5 bonding and 1 non - bonding) is called square pyramidal.
• Bond Angles: In a square pyramidal geometry, the bond angles are \(90^{\circ}\) and \(180^{\circ}\).

Answer:

1. G. 6
2. F. 5
3. B. 1
4. O. square pyramidal
5. Y. \(90^{\circ}\) and \(180^{\circ}\)
