(a)
Interpretation: The shape of the compound
Concept Introduction: VSEPR theory stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory.
Scientists used the VSEPR theory to explain the three-dimensional shape of molecules.
(a)
Answer to Problem 60A
The given compound
Explanation of Solution
The given compound is
To predict the shape, draw the structure of the molecule.
Since there are only two bonding pairs, the shape of the molecule is linear.
(b)
