Question

The hybridization of orbitals on the central atom in a molecule is sp. The electron-domain geometry around this central atom is ________. The hybridization of orbitals on the central atom in a molecule is sp. The electron-domain geometry around this central atom is ________. trigonal bipyramidal octahedral trigonal planar tetrahedral linear

Answer 1

Answer:The electron-domain geometry around this central atom is linear

Step-by-step explanation:

The hybridization is sp which means the number of electron pairs involved are 2. The electron domain geometry will have two sigma bonds and thus geometry will be linear.

The electron domain geometry will be Trigonal bipyramidal when hybridization is
`sp^3d`

The electron domain geometry will be octahedral when hybridization is
`sp^3d^2`

The electron domain geometry will be Trigonal planar when hybridization is
`sp^2`

The electron domain geometry will be tetrahedral when hybridization is
`sp^3`
