A molecule `XY_2` contains two `sigma`, two `pi` and one lone pair of electron in valence shell of X. The arrangement of lone pair as well as bond pairs isA. square pyramidalB. linearC. trigonal planarD. unpredictable

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The valence shell of x has three pairs of electrons `2sigma` and one lone pair therefore it has planar triangular geometry. `pi` pair of electrons are not considered for deciding geometry.
