I'm reviewing for my final. This is an old problem that I got correct (option a), but I can't remember how. I know that SeCl2 is AX2E2, which is sp3, but I'm stuck trying to figure out how I chose option a and not option b. How do I know the difference in the amount of arrows (e-) in the p orbital boxes? Thanks :)
