According to VSEPR theory, a molecule with the general formula AX₂E₂will have a __________ molecular shape. A)linear B)bent C)trigonal planar D)tetrahedral E)see-saw

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The AX2E2 molecular formula indicates a molecule with two bonded atoms (X) and two lone pairs (E) on the central atom (A). According to VSEPR theory, this arrangement leads to a bent shape due to the repulsion between the lone pairs and the bonded atoms.
