The correct Answer is:
To determine the geometry with respect to the central atom of the molecules \( N(SiH_3)_3 \), \( Me_3N \), and \( (SiH_3)_3P \), we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze \( N(SiH_3)_3 \) 1. **Identify the central atom**: The central atom in this molecule is nitrogen (N). 2. **Count the substituents**: There are three \( SiH_3 \) groups attached to the nitrogen atom. 3. **Consider lone pairs**: Nitrogen has one lone pair of electrons. 4. **Determine hybridization**: The nitrogen atom is surrounded by three \( SiH_3 \) groups and one lone pair. This gives a total of four regions of electron density, which corresponds to \( sp^3 \) hybridization. 5. **Determine geometry**: The presence of one lone pair leads to a trigonal pyramidal geometry. ### Step 2: Analyze \( Me_3N \) 1. **Identify the central atom**: The central atom is again nitrogen (N). 2. **Count the substituents**: There are three methyl (Me) groups attached to the nitrogen atom. 3. **Consider lone pairs**: Nitrogen has one lone pair of electrons. 4. **Determine hybridization**: Similar to the previous molecule, nitrogen is surrounded by three methyl groups and one lone pair, leading to a total of four regions of electron density, which corresponds to \( sp^3 \) hybridization. 5. **Determine geometry**: The presence of one lone pair results in a trigonal pyramidal geometry. ### Step 3: Analyze \( (SiH_3)_3P \) 1. **Identify the central atom**: The central atom in this molecule is phosphorus (P). 2. **Count the substituents**: There are three \( SiH_3 \) groups attached to the phosphorus atom. 3. **Consider lone pairs**: Phosphorus has one lone pair of electrons. 4. **Determine hybridization**: Phosphorus is surrounded by three \( SiH_3 \) groups and one lone pair, leading to a total of four regions of electron density, which corresponds to \( sp^3 \) hybridization. 5. **Determine geometry**: The presence of one lone pair results in a trigonal pyramidal geometry. ### Summary of Geometries - \( N(SiH_3)_3 \): Trigonal pyramidal - \( Me_3N \): Trigonal pyramidal - \( (SiH_3)_3P \): Trigonal pyramidal
