Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To predict the shapes of the molecules BCl₃, CH₄, CO₂, and NH₃ based on hybridization, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Hybridization of Each Molecule 1. **BCl₃ (Boron Trichloride)** - Boron has 3 valence electrons and forms three bonds with chlorine. - Hybridization: **sp²** (1 s orbital and 2 p orbitals are hybridized). ...
