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 planar

D

Unpredictable

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
The valence shell of X has ` sigma`-bonds and one lone
pair of electrons . Therefore , it has planar triangular
geometry . It may be mentioned here that bond pairs
involved in the formation of ` pi`-bonds are not con
considered while deciding the geometry of the molecule .
