In which of the following molecules/ions are all the bonds not equal?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
- : Tetrahedral geometry (). All bonds equal.: Square planar geometry ( with lone pairs). All bonds equal.: Tetrahedral geometry (). All bonds equal.: See-saw geometry ( with lone pair). It has two types of bonds: axial and equatorial. Due to different repulsion environments, axial and equatorial bond lengths are not equal.
