A molecule XY(2) contains two sigma bond...

A molecule `XY_(2)` contains two `sigma` bonds two `pi` bond and one lone pair of electrons in the valence shell of `X`. The arrangement of lone pair as well as bond pairs is

A

square pyramidal

B

Linear

C

Trigonal planer

D

Unperdictable

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
The valence shell of x has two `sigma` bonds and one lone pair of electron.Thus it has trigonal planar geometry. Rember `pi` bonded electrons are considered while deciding the geometry of the molecules
