shape of nitrogen triiodide
« on: October 21, 2010, 09:37:55 PM »
Ok, it NI3, it has 3 bonding pais and 1 lone pair. My textbook says it is pyramidal, but I found online that it is trigonal bipyramidal. What answer is correct and why?

Thank you

Shape: pyramidal or trigonal pyramidal is correct (not bypiramidal)
