Linear
Trigonal planar
Bent
Tetrahedral
2. Which of the following molecules exhibits sp3 hybridization around its central atom?
CO2
BF3
CH4

3. The unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond results in a bond.
4. forces are attractive forces between molecules, not within them.
5. Describe the key principles of VSEPR theory and how it helps predict molecular geometry.
