  1. Tetrahedral Electronic Geometry: AB3U Species (One Lone Pair of Electrons on A) • Some examples of molecules with this geometry are: NH3, NF3, PH3, PCl3, AsH3 • These molecules are our first examples of central atoms with lone pairs of electrons. Thus, the electronic and molecular geometries are different. All three substituents are the same but molecule is polar. • NH3 and NF3 are trigonal pyramidal, polar molecules.

  5. Tetrahedral Electronic Geometry: AB3U Species (One Lone Pair of Electrons on A) Polarity

  6. Tetrahedral Electronic Geometry: AB2U2 Species (Two Lone Pairs of Electrons on A) • Some examples of molecules with this geometry are: H2O, OF2, OCl2, H2S • These molecules are our first examples of central atoms with two lone pairs of electrons. Thus, the electronic and molecular geometries are different. Both substituents are the same but molecule is polar. • Molecules are angular, bent, or V-shaped and polar.

  9. Tetrahedral Electronic Geometry: ABU3 Species (Three Lone Pairs of Electrons on A) • Some examples of molecules with this geometry are: HF, HCl, HBr, HI, FCl, IBr • These molecules are examples of central atoms with three lone pairs of electrons. Again, the electronic and molecular geometries are different. • Molecules are linear and polar when the two atoms are different. Cl2, Br2, I2 are nonpolar.

  13. Trigonal Bipyramidal Electronic Geometry: AB5, AB4U, AB3U2, and AB2U3 • Some examples of molecules with this geometry are: PF5, AsF5, PCl5, etc. • These molecules are examples of central atoms with five bonding pairs of electrons. The electronic and molecular geometries are the same. • Molecules are trigonal bipyramidal and nonpolar when all five substituents are the same. If the five substituents are not the same, polar molecules can result, AsF4Cl is an example.
