Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a molecule has four electron domains, with two being lone pairs, what is its predicted molecular shape and approximate bond angles?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the lone pairs influence the geometry.

Question 2

A compound with a trigonal bipyramidal geometry states that it has no lone pairs. Given this information, what can you infer about its symmetry and overall polarity?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how bond dipoles' symmetry cancels out.
