Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of (CH₃)₂P(O)Cl. Does this molecule have a net dipole moment?
**Options:**
- ○ tetrahedral, no
- ○ see-saw, yes
- ○ see-saw, no
- ● tetrahedral, yes
**Explanation:**
The selected answer is "tetrahedral, yes."
The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory helps predict the 3D shape of molecules by considering electron pair repulsions. Here, dimethylphosphoryl chloride ((CH₃)₂P(O)Cl) is analyzed for its shape and dipole moment. The molecular shape is predicted to be tetrahedral due to the arrangement of substituents around the phosphorus atom. The presence of polar bonds and an asymmetric shape leads to a net dipole moment.
