  2. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    2 O is sp 3 hybridized in which the 2s atomic orbital and the three 2p orbitals of oxygen are hybridized to form four new hybridized orbitals which then participate in bonding by overlapping with the hydrogen 1s orbitals. As such, the predicted shape and bond angle of sp 3 hybridization is tetrahedral and 109.5°. This is in open agreement with ...

  3. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 geometrical parameters that ...

  5. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    A bond of higher bond order also exerts greater repulsion since the pi bond electrons contribute. [10] For example in isobutylene, (H 3 C) 2 C=CH 2, the H 3 C−C=C angle (124°) is larger than the H 3 C−C−CH 3 angle (111.5°). However, in the carbonate ion, CO 2− 3, all three C−O bonds are equivalent with angles of 120° due to resonance.

  6. Bond length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_length

    It is generally considered the average length for a carbon–carbon single bond, but is also the largest bond length that exists for ordinary carbon covalent bonds. Since one atomic unit of length (i.e., a Bohr radius) is 52.9177 pm, the C–C bond length is 2.91 atomic units, or approximately three Bohr radii long.

  7. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  8. Bond valence method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_valence_method

    R i is the observed bond length, R 0 is a tabulated [1] parameter expressing the (ideal) bond length when the element i has exactly valence 1, and b is an empirical constant, typically 0.37 Å. Another formula for v i {\displaystyle v_{\text{i}}} has also been used: [ 2 ]

  9. Ball-and-stick model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

    The Beeverses Miniature Models company in Edinburgh (now operating as Miramodus) produced small models beginning in 1961 [3] using PMMA balls and stainless steel rods. In these models, the use of individually drilled balls with precise bond angles and bond lengths enabled large crystal structures to be accurately created in a light and rigid form.
