  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 ...

  3. 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°.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Chemical graph generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_graph_generator

    Two substructures of a caffeine molecule are given, (A) and (B). The overlap of these substructures is highlighted in green in the caffeine structure (C). Molecular structure generation is a branch of graph generation problems. [1] Molecular structures are graphs with chemical constraints such as valences, bond multiplicity and fragments. These ...

  6. Hyperpolarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpolarizability

    The hyperpolarizability, a nonlinear-optical property of a molecule, is the second order electric susceptibility per unit volume. [1] The hyperpolarizability can be calculated using quantum chemical calculations developed in several software packages. [2] [3] [4] See nonlinear optics.

  7. Energy minimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_minimization

    In the field of computational chemistry, energy minimization (also called energy optimization, geometry minimization, or geometry optimization) is the process of finding an arrangement in space of a collection of atoms where, according to some computational model of chemical bonding, the net inter-atomic force on each atom is acceptably close to zero and the position on the potential energy ...

  8. Dicarbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide

    Dicarbon monoxide (C 2 O) is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a linear molecule that, because of its simplicity, is of interest in a variety of areas. It is, however, so extremely reactive that it is not encountered in everyday life.

  9. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    For a tetrahedral molecule such as difluoromethane with two types of atom bonded to the central atom, the C-F bond to the more electronegative substituent (F) will involve a carbon orbital with less s character than the C-H bond, so that the angle between the C-F bonds is less than the tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5°.
