Trigonal planar

Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a trigonal bipyramidal geometry ($sp^3d$ hybridization),the central atom has $5$ electron pairs. When some of these positions are occupied by lone pairs,the molecular geometry changes: $1$ lone pair results in a See-Saw shape. $2$ lone pairs result in a $T$-shape. $3$ lone pairs result in a Linear shape. Trigonal planar geometry is associated with $sp^2$ hybridization ($3$ electron pairs) and cannot be derived from a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement.

Which of the following shapes cannot be obtained from trigonal bipyramidal geometry?
