AXE
Cards (15)
- AX2: linear
- AX3: trigonal planar
- AX4: tetrahedral
- AX5: trigonal bipyramidal
- AX6: octahedron
- Basic structures have no nonbonding domains, therefore, no lone pairs
- Derived structures have nonbonding domains and lone paires
- AX2E: Bent
- AX3E: Trigonal pyramidal
- AX4E: seesaw (distorted tetrahedral)
- AX3E2: T shaped
- AX2E3: linear
- AX5E: square pyramid
- AX4E2: square planar
- Molecular geometry of complex structures will split a compound into individual AXE structures and count the bond order per central atom
