JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
If \(AB _{4}\) molecule is a polar molecule, a possible geometry of \(AB _{4}\) is :
- A Square pyramidal
- B Tetrahedral
- C Square planar
- D Rectangular planar
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…
