Electron Domain Geometry
Does the orbital hybridization of molecules always have the same geometry so that its electrons?
Like Sp is linear. is trigonal sp2 flat tetrahedral sp3. it seems as if when the number of S and P = a molecular domains. the form name is the same. 3 domains in one molecule is trigonal planar, 4 is a tetrahedral molecule. Is this the case? Although why we should learn from orbital hybridization, when we know the shape of the geometry electron? I hope that made sense
> A molecule with 3 domains is trigonal planar, 4 is a tetrahedral molecule. Is this the case? Yes and congratulations, you've discovered the VSEPR theory on your own! According to this theory, the figure geometry, we consider the number of what you call "domains" (Pairs of electrons, either as bonds or unbonded lone pairs), and ensure that all central atom reach a maximum distance between two pairs of electrons.
