Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the shape of the molecule with the formula AX4?
  • Step 1: Identify the formula AX4. Here, 'A' represents the central atom and 'X' represents the surrounding atoms.
  • Step 2: Count the number of bonding pairs. In AX4, there are four 'X' atoms bonded to 'A', which means there are four bonding pairs.
  • Step 3: Check for lone pairs. Since the formula is AX4, it indicates there are no lone pairs on the central atom 'A'.
  • Step 4: Determine the molecular shape based on bonding pairs and lone pairs. With four bonding pairs and no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.
