  • The shape of ClO_3^- according to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory will be

    A
    Planar triangle
    B
    Pyramidal
    C
    Tetrahedral
    D
    Square planar.

  • The approximate shape of a molecule can often be predicted by using what is called the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model. Electrons in bonds and in lone pairs can be thought of a ''charge cloud'' that repel one another nad stay as far apart as possible, thus causing molecules to assume specific shapes. The repulsive interactions of electron pairs decrease in the order: Lone pair - Lone pair gt Lone pair - Bond pair gt Bond pair - Bond pair These repulsive effects result in deviations from idealised shapes and alteration in bond angles in molecules. Which among the following molecules have sp^(3)d hybridization with one lone pair of electron on the central atom? (P) SF_(4) (Q) [PCl_(4)]^(+) (R) XeO_(2)F_(2) (S) ClOF_(3)

    A
    P, Q and R only
    B
    P, R and S only
    C
    P and Q only
    D
    Q and R only
