The molecular shapes of , and are:

  1. A
    the same with and lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, respectively
  2. B
    the same with and lone pair of electrons on the central atoms, respectively
  3. C
    different with and lone pair of electrons on the central atoms, respectively
  4. D
    different with and lone pairs of electron on the central atoms respectively

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Using VSEPR Theory:: has valence electrons. used for bonds lone pair pairs (Trigonal bipyramidal geometry). Shape: See-saw.: has valence electrons. used for bonds lone pairs pairs. Shape: Tetrahedral.: has valence electrons. used for bonds lone pairs pairs (Octahedral geometry). Shape: Square planar.The shapes are all different, with , and lone pairs respectively.
