  2. Linear molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_molecular_geometry

    Neutral AX 2 molecules with linear geometry include beryllium fluoride (F−Be−F) with two single bonds, [1] carbon dioxide (O=C=O) with two double bonds, hydrogen cyanide (H−C≡N) with one single and one triple bond. The most important linear molecule with more than three atoms is acetylene (H−C≡C−H), in which each of its carbon ...

    [1]: 398 For example in the molecule methyl isocyanate (H 3 C-N=C=O), the two carbons and one nitrogen are central atoms, and the three hydrogens and one oxygen are terminal atoms. [ 1 ] : 416 The geometry of the central atoms and their non-bonding electron pairs in turn determine the geometry of the larger whole molecule.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line. The bond angles are set at 180°. For example, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide have a linear molecular shape. Trigonal planar: Molecules with the trigonal planar shape are somewhat triangular and in one plane (flat). Consequently, the bond angles are set at 120°.

  5. Triatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triatomic_molecule

    Linear triatomic molecules owe their geometry to their sp or sp 3 d hybridised central atoms. Well-known linear triatomic molecules include carbon dioxide (CO 2) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Xenon difluoride (XeF 2) is one of the rare examples of a linear triatomic molecule possessing non-bonded pairs of electrons on the central atom.

  6. Trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_bipyramidal...

    In chemistry, a trigonal bipyramid formation is a molecular geometry with one atom at the center and 5 more atoms at the corners of a triangular bipyramid. [1] This is one geometry for which the bond angles surrounding the central atom are not identical (see also pentagonal bipyramid), because there is no geometrical arrangement with five terminal atoms in equivalent positions.

  7. Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_pyramidal...

    In chemistry, a trigonal pyramid is a molecular geometry with one atom at the apex and three atoms at the corners of a trigonal base, resembling a tetrahedron (not to be confused with the tetrahedral geometry). When all three atoms at the corners are identical, the molecule belongs to point group C 3v.

  8. Open-chain compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-chain_compound

    In chemistry, an open-chain compound (or open chain compound) or acyclic compound (Greek prefix α 'without' and κύκλος 'cycle') is a compound with a linear structure, rather than a cyclic one. [1] An open-chain compound having no side groups is called a straight-chain compound (also spelled as straight chain compound).

  9. Vibrational spectroscopy of linear molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrational_spectroscopy...

    Example of a linear molecule. N atoms in a molecule have 3N degrees of freedom which constitute translations, rotations, and vibrations.For non-linear molecules, there are 3 degrees of freedom for translational (motion along the x, y, and z directions) and 3 degrees of freedom for rotational motion (rotations in R x, R y, and R z directions) for each atom.
