Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular geometry for an atom surrounded by two lone pairs and four single bonds is square planar. This configuration aligns with the AX4E2 notation in VSEPR theory, where "A" represents the central atom, "X" represents the bonded atoms, and "E" represents the lone pairs of electrons.
