  2. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    Chemical bonding of water. Lewis Structure of H 2 O indicating bond angle and bond length. Water ( H. 2O) is a simple triatomic bent molecule with C 2v molecular symmetry and bond angle of 104.5° between the central oxygen atom and the hydrogen atoms. Despite being one of the simplest triatomic molecules, its chemical bonding scheme is ...

  3. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometry. Geometry of the water molecule with values for O-H bond length and for H-O-H bond angle between two bonds. Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other ...

  4. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Bent's rule. Shape of water molecule showing that the real bond angle 104.5° deviates from the ideal sp 3 angle of 109.5°. In chemistry, Bent's rule describes and explains the relationship between the orbital hybridization and the electronegativities of substituents. [ 1][ 2] The rule was stated by Henry A. Bent as follows: [ 2] Atomic s ...

  5. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    In chemistry, molecules with a non-collinear arrangement of two adjacent bonds have bent molecular geometry, also known as angular or V-shaped. Certain atoms, such as oxygen, will almost always set their two (or more) covalent bonds in non-collinear directions due to their electron configuration. Water (H 2 O) is an example of a bent molecule ...

  6. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The bond angle for water is 104.5°. Valence shell electron pair repulsion ( VSEPR) theory ( / ˈvɛspər, vəˈsɛpər / VESP-ər, [1] : 410 və-SEP-ər [2]) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. [3] It is also named the Gillespie-Nyholm ...

  7. Octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_molecular_geometry

    For ML a 4 L b 2, two isomers exist.These isomers of ML a 4 L b 2 are cis, if the L b ligands are mutually adjacent, and trans, if the L b groups are situated 180° to each other. It was the analysis of such complexes that led Alfred Werner to the 1913 Nobel Prize–winning postulation of octahedral complexes.

  8. Borane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borane

    Borane, also known as borine, is an unstable and highly reactive molecule with the chemical formula B H. 3. The preparation of borane carbonyl, BH 3 (CO), played an important role in exploring the chemistry of boranes, as it indicated the likely existence of the borane molecule. [ 2] However, the molecular species BH 3 is a very strong Lewis acid.

  9. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    SF 4 ax-ax 173.1°, eq-eq 101.6°. μ (Polarity) >0. Disphenoidal or seesaw (also known as sawhorse [1]) is a type of molecular geometry where there are four bonds to a central atom with overall C 2v molecular symmetry. The name "seesaw" comes from the observation that it looks like a playground seesaw.
