Predict the parent structures of the following molecules.
(a)
Interpretation:
The parent structure of
Explanation of Solution
The sum of atoms attached to the central metal atom and the unshared electron pairs is termed as electron domains. The electron domains are calculated by drawing the Lewis structure which results in the parent structure or geometry of the molecule.
There are two electron domains present in
Thus, the parent structure of
