For each molecular geometry, list the number of total electron groups, the number of bonding groups, and the number of lone pairs on the central atom. (c)

Hi everyone here. We have a question asking us to identify the number of lone pairs on the central atom bonding groups and total electron groups for the structure below. So what it is showing us is a molecule with a square planner electron geometry. So that means it is a X four E two. So it has two long pairs, four bonding groups. And we can see our bonding groups here, here, here and here and six electron groups total because that is adding our two lone pairs and our for bonding groups. So this is our final answer. Too Long pairs, four bonding groups and six total electron groups. Thank you for watching. Bye.
