What is the molecular geometry of \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}\)?
- A Trigonal pyramid
- B Square planar
- C Trigonal bipyramidal
- D Trigonal planar
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Trigonal pyramid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}\)has a molecular geometry of tetrahedral, since there are 4 regions of electron density surrounding the central \(\mathrm{O}\) atom ( 3 hydrogens and 1 lone pair of electrons). The VSEPR shape would be trigonal pyramidal. Hence, the correct option…
