I have the answers to this can someone check to make sure they are right? BeCl2 Electron/molecular Geometry-Linear BF3 Electron/molecular - Trigonal Planer O3 Electron - Trigonal Planer Molecular- Bent SiCl4 Electron/Molecular- tetrahedral SOCl2 Electron- Tetrahydral (I read somewhere this might not be true though) Molecular-Trigonal Pyrimidal SCl2 Electron/molecular-Linear

OpenStudy (abb0t):

SOCl2 I believe is pyramidal, kind of like water, kind of like water. There is a double bond between the sulfur and oxygen. Everything else looks good though.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

pyramidal is for SOCl2

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

its nothing to do with water structure !!!!!!!

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

Scl2 is not linear too

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

OpenStudy (vane11):

Yeah I was thinking that maybe it was Tetrahydral and Linear?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

SCl2 is bent with C2V symetry

OpenStudy (vane11):

So tetrahedral and bent?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

SOCl2 is pyramidal and SCl2 is bent

OpenStudy (vane11):

I got the question wrong anyway haha owell xP thanks guys!

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

ur welcome

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Why are you introducing point groups?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

And I was referring to the bending of the chlorines being similar to water. Obviously it's not water

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

LOL:)

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

symmetry and structure are related LOL:) i usually prefer it to say along with milecule the symmetry also we should nooo
