What is the molecular geometry if you have a double bond, a single bond and 1 lone pair around the central atom?What is the molecular geometry if you have a double bond, a single bond and 1 lone pair around the central atom?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bent Molecular Geometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the explanation Ozone ($O_3$) can be used as it has 1 lone pair and 2 bonded pairs containing 1 double bond and 1 single bond. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory as lone pairs have the highest repulsion they will push the bond pairs away, thereby creating a bent shape with an angle of less than 120° (around 116°).

Answer 2

A molecule that has  a double bond, a single bond and 1 lone pair around the central atom has a bent molecular geometry.

The shape of a molecule is determined by the number of electron pairs that surround the central atom in the molecule according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR).

A molecule having a double bond, a single bond and 1 lone pair around the central atom must be triatomic. A triatomic molecule is either linear or bent. Since it has  a double bond and a single bond, the molecule must be bent due to repulsion caused by the lone pair.
