Question

A) A central atom has two lone pairs on opposite sides and four single bonds. What is the molecule
geometry of the result? (1 point)
tetrahedral
linear
square planar
octahedral

Answer 1

The molecule geometry described, where a central atom has two lone pairs on opposite sides and four single bonds, corresponds to a **square planar** geometry. This is because the four bonds will arrange themselves in the plane while the two lone pairs will occupy axial positions, resulting in a square shape around the central atom.
