What is the name of SnO2?

SnO2 is an ionic compound with a tin cation and the oxide anion. Tin can have multiple charges, so the name must indicate the charge with a roman numeral. To find the charge on the tin cation, use the fact that oxide has a charge of −2. There are two oxide anions, so the charge on the tin cation must be +4 in order to give a neutral charge overall. 1(+4)+2(−2)=0. Therefore, the name of the compound is tin (IV) oxide.

Molecular geometry VS electron geometry

Electron geometry teaches us about the arrangement of different electron groups. Molecular geometry, on the other hand, helps us understand the entire atom and its arrangement. We consider both lone electron pairs and bond electron pairs while determining the shape of a molecule in electron geometry. In molecular geometry, though, we only consider bond electron pairs.2. We calculate the number of total electron pairs in electron geometry and not in molecular geometry.3. Through electron geometry, we get the spatial arrangement of the lone pairs and bond in the molecule. We can determine it through VSEPR theory, according to which, electron domains repel each other.

VSEPR theory considers which of the following?

Electron pair repulsion. The VSEPR theory assumes that each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of that atom. ... Repulsion between these pairs of electrons can be minimized by arranging them so that they point in opposite directions.

A molecule contains a central atom from Group 13 in the second row of the periodic table. The molecule shows none of the characteristics of a free radical, but will often form bonds with other molecules by accepting a pair of electrons. This molecule is most likely:

an electron-deficient molecule As the central atom of this molecule is in the second row of the periodic table, we know that it cannot be hypervalent. We also know that it cannot have an odd number of electrons, as experimental evidence suggests that it is not a free radical (as all odd-electron molecules are). It is most likely electron-deficient due to the location of its central atom (Group 13) and its tendency to form bonds with molecules containing lone pairs of electrons.
