How Does the Presence of the Lone Pair Affect the Geometry

question 49

Multiple Choice

How does the presence of the lone pair affect the geometry of the central atom in the following molecule? How does the presence of the lone pair affect the geometry of the central atom in the following molecule?   I The lone pair is attracted to the nuclei of the three substituents,creating larger bond angles. II The lone pair repels the three sets of covalently bonded electrons. III The lone pair has no bearing whatsoever on the VSEPR geometry at the central atom. IVThe bond angles are smaller than a traditional tetrahedral bond angle due to lone pair repulsion. A) I B) II C) III D) IV E) II and IV
