Pyramidal structure of a molecule is expected to have three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons 3 bonds +1 lone pair = trigonal bipyramidal

Q. Which of the following structure of a molecule is expected to have three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons ?

Tetrahedral

Trigonal Planar

Pyramidal

Octahedral

Pyramidal structure of a molecule is expected to have three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons 3 bonds $+ 1$ lone pair = trigonal bipyramidal
