Trigonal pyramidal
Bent
Linear
Trigonal planar
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which molecular shape corresponds to a molecule with a tetrahedral electron geometry and one lone pair?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that 'tetrahedral electron geometry' means there are four regions of electron density around the central atom.
Step 2: Recognize that one of these regions is a lone pair, which does not contribute to the shape of the molecule.
Step 3: Identify that the remaining three regions (which are bonding pairs) will determine the molecular shape.
Step 4: Realize that with three bonding pairs and one lone pair, the shape formed is called 'trigonal pyramidal'.
