Rotate the molecule until you have a feeling for its three-dimensional shape. How many atoms are bonded to the central atom?
Consider the bond angle at the central atom. What is the approximate numerical value of this angle? _____90109120180 degrees.
You could view this geometry as being derived from a trigonal planar molecule by removing one atom, or as being derived from a tetrahedral molecule by removing two atoms. Which does the bond angle suggest? _________a trigonal planar moleculea tetrahedral molecule
