1
New cards

AX2

  • linear

  • 2 electron groups: 2 bonding groups

  • bond angle: 180

  • e.g. CO2, BeCl2


2
New cards

AX3

  • trigonal planar

  • 3 electron groups: 3 bonding groups (no lone pairs)

  • bond angle: 120

  • e.g. SO3, BF3


3
New cards

AX2E

  • bent

  • 3 electron groups: 2 bonding groups + 1 lone pair

  • bond angle: slightly below 120 bc the lone pair pushes bonding pairs closer together

  • e.g. SO2


4
New cards

AX4

  • tetrahedral

  • 4 electron groups: 4 bonding groups (no lone pairs)

  • bond angle: 109.5

  • e.g. CH4
