Question

question 2 (1 point)
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): The central atom has 2 bonding regions (with the two green atoms). So, the number of REDs is 2.
• Bonding and Non - bonding: All 2 REDs are bonding (as there are no lone pairs indicated in the simple linear structure). Non - bonding pairs are 0.
• Shape: A molecule with 2 bonding regions and 0 non - bonding regions has a linear shape.
• Bond Angles: For a linear shape, the bond angle is \(180^{\circ}\).

Answer:

1. C. 2
2. C. 2
3. A. 0
4. I. linear
5. W. \(180^{\circ}\)
