By John Hall

Clo3 Molecular Geometry

Predicted molecular geometry of ClO3à â '

a) Triangle plane b) Tetrahedron

c) Triangular pyramid d) Octagonal

e) Triangle p) f) Linear g) Angle

You have 3 pairs of bonding electrons and 2 lone pairs, rejecting 5 total VSEPR (Valence electron pair), this is the T shape you did not select.

Next is a) Triangle surface.

Clo3 molecule shape.

Tetrahedral
