Question

If you know the formula of a molecule or ion, what is the first step in predicting its shape?

Count the number of regions of electron density
O Determine the polarity of the bonds
Draw the Lewis structure
O Determine if the polarity cancels out or results in a net force
Count the number of bonding areas vs. the number of nonbonding areas

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I would draw the lewis dot structure to determine the shape.
