Draw and determine the electron geometry for the following molecule:TeBr₄

Accepted Answer

draw and determine the electron geometry for the following molecule. Here we have to delirium connected to four bro means. So delirium is in group six A. So it has six valence electrons. Now remember halogen would not in the center only make single bonds. So we're gonna have we're gonna use four out of our six valence electrons for delirium to connect to the four bro means bro means our in group seven A. So they have seven valence electrons. Okay, so that goes each of the bro means and then we still have two electrons are not using four delirium. They would exist as a lone pair on delirium. Now remember we draw the structure this way on purpose. If you haven't taken a look, go back and review my video on molecular shapes here. If we take a look, we're gonna have how many electron groups on delirium? We have 12345 electron groups on delirium. Remember we have five electron groups, tri means three by means to and when you add them together it gives us five. This is going to be tribunal by pyramidal two words. Okay, so this would be the electron geometry for TEBR four
