  2. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    2 O) 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 nonetheless complex as many of its bonding properties such as bond angle , ionization energy , and ...

  3. Molar ionization energies of the elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_ionization_energies...

    The first molar ionization energy applies to the neutral atoms. The second, third, etc., molar ionization energy applies to the further removal of an electron from a singly, doubly, etc., charged ion. For ionization energies measured in the unit eV, see Ionization energies of the elements (data page). All data from rutherfordium onwards is ...

  4. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    According to VSEPR theory, diethyl ether, methanol, water and oxygen difluoride should all have a bond angle of 109.5 o. [12] Using VSEPR theory, all these molecules should have the same bond angle because they have the same "bent" shape. [12] Yet, clearly the bond angles between all these molecules deviate from their ideal geometries in ...

  5. Ionization energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization_energy

    The first ionization energy is quantitatively expressed as X(g) + energy X + (g) + e −. where X is any atom or molecule, X + is the resultant ion when the original atom was stripped of a single electron, and e − is the removed electron. [2] Ionization energy is positive for neutral atoms, meaning that the ionization is an endothermic process.

  6. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    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, as well as its analogues. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°. [1]

  7. Walsh diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walsh_diagram

    For the simplest AH 2 molecular system, Walsh produced the first angular correlation diagram by plotting the ab initio orbital energy curves for the canonical molecular orbitals while changing the bond angle from 90° to 180°. As the bond angle is distorted, the energy for each of the orbitals can be followed along the lines, allowing a quick ...

  8. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formed by the last three atoms. There exists a mathematical relationship among the bond angles for one central atom and four ...

  9. Koopmans' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koopmans'_theorem

    From Koopmans’ theorem the energy of the 1b 1 HOMO corresponds to the ionization energy to form the H 2 O + ion in its ground state (1a 1) 2 (2a 1) 2 (1b 2) 2 (3a 1) 2 (1b 1) 1. The energy of the second-highest MO 3a 1 refers to the ion in the excited state (1a 1) 2 (2a 1) 2 (1b 2) 2 (3a 1) 1 (1b 1) 2, and so on. In this case the order of the ...
