Chcl3 Molecular Geometry: Sp3 Hybridization, Trigonal Pyramid, And Bent Shape
Sp3 Hybridization: CHCl3’s central carbon atom undergoes sp3 hybridization, forming four equivalent hybrid orbitals that bond with three chlorine atoms (sigma bonds), resulting in a tetrahedral electron pair geometry. Trigonal Pyramid Geometry: The tetrahedral electron pair geometry creates a trigonal pyramid molecular shape, where the chlorine atoms occupy three corners of the pyramid and the…
