What is the three-dimensional shape of the molecule with this Lewis structure? A. Bent B. Linear C. Tetrahedral D. Trigonal planar.

Sagot :

Lewis structure is the electron dot representation of the atomic and molecular bonds of the molecules. Trigonal planar is the shape of the formaldehyde.

What is a trigonal planar shape?

A trigonal planar shape of the molecule is the arrangement of the central atom attached to the other three atoms making them look triangle-shaped.

The attachment of the carbon to the two hydrogens and one oxygen atom can be given by the VSEPR theory. The number of the electron pair in the molecule is 3 making them [tex]\rm sp_{2}[/tex] hybridized and hence have a trigonal planar shape.

Therefore, option D.  trigonal planar is the shape.
