A Lewis structure is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule that does no

Question

A Lewis structure is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule that does not necessarily show what shape that molecule would take in three dimensions. From the following structure and what you know about VSEPR theory, approximate the smallest molecule. Number 90 degrees The way that the atoms are arranged in the Lewis structure may not match the true shape of the molecule. Consider only that the molecule has four outer atoms and no lone pairs, and ignore the shape suggested by the Lewis structure.

Explanation / Answer

VSEPR Theory suggests the Geometry to be Tetrahedral and hence bond angle will be 109.50
