Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To discuss the shape of the given molecules using the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model, we will analyze each molecule step by step: ### 1. **BeCl₂ (Beryllium Chloride)** - **Valence Electrons**: Beryllium has 2 valence electrons and each chlorine has 7 valence electrons. - **Bond Formation**: Beryllium shares one electron with each of the two chlorine atoms, forming two Be-Cl single bonds. - **Steric Number Calculation**: - Number of sigma bonds = 2 (Be-Cl bonds) - Number of lone pairs on Be = 0 ...
