If \(AB _{4}\) molecule is a polar molecule, a possible geometry of \(AB _{4}\) is :

  1. A Square pyramidal
  2. B Tetrahedral
  3. C Square planar
  4. D Rectangular planar
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Square pyramidal

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((1)\) If \(AB _{4}\) molecule is a square pyramidal then it has one lone pair and their structure should be and it should be polar because dipole moment of lone pair of \('A'\) never be cancelled by others. \((2)\) If \(AB _{4}\) molecule is a tetrahedral then it has no lone…
