Molecular Shape Class: AX2E Explained

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the confusion regarding a specific chemistry term related to molecular geometry. Initially, the term was thought to refer to molecular shapes like "trigonal planar" or "linear." However, it was clarified that the term is associated with the AX2E notation, where "A" represents the central atom, "X" represents surrounding atoms, and "E" denotes lone pairs of electrons. A helpful resource was shared, which provided further clarity on molecular shapes and their classifications.

I have never come across this term before in my few years of chemistry. At first, i thought it meant molecular shape, such as "trigonal planar" or linear. But apparently, that is not the case. Apparently, it is in some form of AX2E (2 being a subscript), but that's all i can find on the matter. Does anyone have experience on this?

Thats exactly what i needed, thank you
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
