  2. 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 ...

  3. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    This angle may be calculated from the dot product of the two vectors, defined as a ⋅ b = ‖ a ‖ ‖ b ‖ cos θ where ‖ a ‖ denotes the length of vector a. As shown in the diagram, the dot product here is –1 and the length of each vector is √ 3, so that cos θ = – ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ and the tetrahedral bond angle θ = arccos ...

  4. Kuhn length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuhn_length

    Bond angle. The Kuhn length is a theoretical treatment, developed by Werner Kuhn, in which a real polymer chain is considered as a collection of Kuhn segments each with a Kuhn length . Each Kuhn segment can be thought of as if they are freely jointed with each other.

  5. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    In stereochemistry, a torsion angle is defined as a particular example of a dihedral angle, describing the geometric relation of two parts of a molecule joined by a chemical bond. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Every set of three non-colinear atoms of a molecule defines a half-plane.

    Longest C-C bond within the cyclobutabenzene category is 174 pm based on X-ray crystallography. [3] In this type of compound the cyclobutane ring would force 90° angles on the carbon atoms connected to the benzene ring where they ordinarily have angles of 120°. Cyclobutabenzene with a bond length in red of 174 pm

  7. 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.

  8. Bond valence method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_valence_method

    The bond valence method or mean method (or bond valence sum) (not to be mistaken for the valence bond theory in quantum chemistry) is a popular method in coordination chemistry to estimate the oxidation states of atoms. It is derived from the bond valence model, which is a simple yet robust model for validating chemical structures with ...

  9. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°. [1] Nonlinear geometry is commonly observed for other triatomic molecules and ions containing only main group elements, prominent examples being nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), sulfur dichloride (SCl 2), and methylene (CH 2).
