Predict the geometry around the central atom in so2- a) trigonal pyramidal b) tetrahedral c) octahedral d) trigonal planar e) trigonal bipyramidal

The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

To calculate the hybridization of , we use the equation:

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  (S) = 6

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 0

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

answer: mercury

explanation:

d: the voltage of the secondary coil is less than that of the primary coil.

im not suree sorry if wrong
