Question
what is the vsepr geometry of the particle? s o o trigonal pyramidal tetrahedral trigonal planar bent
Brief Explanations
To determine the VSEPR geometry, count the electron - pair domains around the central atom (S). There are 3 electron - pair domains (2 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair). According to VSEPR theory, 3 electron - pair domains give a trigonal planar electron - pair geometry. But the molecular geometry (considering only the positions of atoms) for 2 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair is bent.
