How old are puppies when they open their eyes. I would like to know how old mini schnauzer puppies are when they open their eyes. Optional Information: Age: <1; Male; Breed: mini schnauzer. Submitted: 10 years ago.
The central Sn atom is bonded to the three Cl atoms and has one nonbonding pair on it. Therefore, the Sn atom has four electron domains around it. The resulting electron-domain geometry is tetrahedral (Table 9.1) with three of the corners occupied by the bonding pairs of electrons.
I believe that GEOMETRY refers to the lewis structure without considering lone pair electrons. SHAPE refers to the three-dimensional structure with lone pair electrons included (all the orbitals). For example, the GEOMETRY of water is bent (because the electrons don't count for the GEOMETRY) and the SHAPE is tetrahedral (electron lone pairs are included). Hope that helps.
