What is the shape of AX2?
Linear
Linear electron geometry: This ball-and-stick model represents a linear compound for formula AX2. The two X atoms (in white) are 180° away from one another.
How many bonding electron pairs are there in the AX3E formula?
three bonding electron pairs
There are three bonding electron pairs and one lone pair. The molecule has the general formula AX3E. Using this information and Table 3.1 we find that the molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal.
What is the bond angle of AX3E2?
120o
AX3E2. NOTES: This molecule is made up of 5 sp3d hybrid orbitals. Three orbitals are arranged around the equator of the molecule with bond angles of 120o. Two orbitals are arranged along the vertical axis at 90o from the equatorial orbitals.
Why is ax2e3 linear?
Two orbitals are arranged along the vertical axis at 90o from the equatorial orbitals. The shape of the orbitals is trigonal bipyramidal. All three equatorial orbitals contain lone pairs of electrons. The three atom molecule has a linear shape.
What is the molecular shape of AX4E2?
square planar
AX4E2 molecules are square planar. The two lone pairs are farthest apart when they are on opposite sides of the central atom.
Is ax2 polar or non polar?
| Shape: | Linear |
|---|---|
| Steric Number: | 5 |

What is the correct molecular geometry for Sifbrs?
According to the VSEPR theory, SiF4 possesses a tetrahedral molecular geometry and a SiF4-like electron geometry. Because the centre atom, silicon, has four Si-F bonds with the four fluorine atoms surrounding it. The F-Si-F bond generates a 109-degree angle in a tetrahedral geometry.
