1. 1 Tetrahedral Electronic Geometry: AB 3 U Species (One Lone Pair of Electrons on A) Some examples of molecules with this geometry are: NH 3, NF 3, PH 3, PCl 3, AsH 3 These molecules are our first examples of central atoms with lone pairs of electrons. Thus, the electronic and molecular geometries are different. polar All three substituents are the same but molecule is polar. NH 3 and NF 3 are trigonal pyramidal, polar molecules.

17. 17 Trigonal Bipyramidal Electronic Geometry: AB 5, AB 4 U, AB 3 U2, and AB 2 U 3  Some examples of molecules with this geometry are: PF 5, AsF 5, PCl 5, etc. These molecules are examples of central atoms with five bonding pairs of electrons. The electronic and molecular geometries are the same. Molecules are trigonal bipyramidal and nonpolar when all five substituents are the same. polar If the five substituents are not the same, polar molecules can result, AsF 4 Cl is an example.
