The geometry of the methanide ion, `overset(-)overset(..)CH_(3)`,

A

trigonal pyramidal

B

tetrahedral

C

square pyramidal

D

trigonal planar

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Hybridization of negatively charged `C` atom of methanide ion is `sp^(3)` which is correleated to tetrahedral orientation. However, due to the presence of a lone pair, the shape is trigonal pyramidal
