Explain the non-linear shape of `H_(2)`S and a non-planer shape of `PCl_(3)` using valence shell elecilron pair repuJsion theory.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Central atom do this is S.
There are 6 electrons in its valence shell `(""_(16)S = 2, 8, 6 )`.
From this two electrons are shared with two H-atoms and the remaining four electrons are present as two lone pairs.

So, total pairs of electrons are four (2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs).
As the presence of 2 lone pairs the shape becomes distorted tetrahedral or angular or bent (non-linear).

`PCl_(3)` : Central atom is phosphorus. There are 5 electrons in its valence shell (`""_(15)`P = 2, 8, 5). Three electrons are shared with three 0 -atoms and the remaining two elecirons are present as one lone pair.
So, total pairs of electrons are four (1 lone pair and 3 bond pajrs). Due to the presence of one lone pair, the shape becomes pyramidal (non- planar).

Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of air contained in the model that Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same.)
