What is the structure of SnCl2 according to VSEPR theory?

The structure of SnCl2 is a trigonal pyramidal shape or we can say that V shape due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons based on VSEPR theory.

Is SnCl2 tetrahedral?

The shape of gaseous SnCl2 is A tetrahedral B linear class 11 chemistry CBSE.

What is the Vsepr shape?

VSEPR theory is based on the idea that the geometry (shape) of a molecule is mostly determined by repulsion among the pairs of electrons around a central atom. The pairs of electrons may be bonding or non-bonding (also called lone pairs).

Is NO2+ linear or bent?

NO2 is a bent molecule; however, when you remove an electron from it, making it NO2+, the molecule becomes linear due to the loss of a lone electron. In NO2+, there is no repulsion taking place between the two O atoms and the lone electron on the central atom.

What is shape of PCl5?

PCl5 has five electron pairs around central atom, five bond pairs no lone pairs. So the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.

What is the shape of ClF3?

ClF3 molecular geometry is said to be a T-shaped. It acquires such shape because of the presence of two lone pairs which take up equatorial positions and there are greater repulsions.

What is AXE formula?

The “AXE method” of electron counting is commonly used when applying the VSEPR theory. The electron pairs around a central atom are represented by a formula AXnEm, where A represents the central atom and always has an implied subscript one. Each E represents a lone pair of electrons on the central atom.
