The hybridization of orbitals on the central atom in a molecule is sp².The electron-domain geometry about this central atom is ________. A)octahedral B)linear C)trigonal planar D)trigonal bipyramidal E)tetrahedral

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sp² hybridization corresponds to a trigonal planar electron-domain geometry, where the central atom forms three sigma bonds in a plane with 120-degree angles between them.
