What is true for a molecule with standard geometry:
Correct answer: D. All
- A. It lacks a lone pair
- B. It can't be a donor
- C. It can be an acceptor
- D. All
Explanation
For a molecule with standard geometry, it typically lacks lone pairs, cannot act as a donor due to the absence of lone pairs, but can function as an acceptor by accepting lone pairs from donor molecules. The correct answer is Option D, as all the statements about molecules with standard geometry are true. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not cover all the attributes of molecules with standard geometry.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
