What is the molecular geometry of CH2Cl2?
CH2Cl2, or dichloromethane has a distorted tetrahedral shape caused by the larger masses of the chlorine atoms compared to the hydrogen atoms. The bond angles between the hydrogen atoms is 112 degrees and 108 degrees between the chlorine atoms.
Why is there a measurement of 109.5 degrees between bonds on a tetrahedral?
This is the maximum distance the atoms can be placed away from each other. If you change any of the angles, some of the atoms will be closer together and will experience steric repulsions. By placing the atoms 109.5 degrees apart, you minimize steric repulsions and free energy. ------------------------------------------------------ Edit (AY12345): You know the shape of the molecule. Draw it out. Use a little trigonometry, and the angles can be calculated mathematically.
How many bond angles of IF7 molecule are 90 degrees?
The molecule of iodine heptafluoride has a bi-pyramidal pentagonal shape. All of the F-I-F angles between two fluorine atoms in axial and equatorial planes are equivalent to 90 degrees. Therefore there is five of them.
In a trigonal planar molecule such as formaldehyde what is the characteristic angle between atoms?
120 degrees
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 5 outer atoms and 1 lone pair on the central atom?
Anything with six electron groups, keep in mind an electron group is a bonded atom or an electron pair, is an octahedral. Anything in an octahedral and a lone pair is the square pyramidal geometry. So all angles between the atoms are a little less than 90 degrees and the angle of the electron pair is greater than 90.

What type of bond occurs between calcium and sulfur atoms?
The type of bond that occurs between calcium and sulfur atoms is ionic.
What is the similarity's between a sulfur atom and sulfur molecule?
A sulfur molecule contains many sulfur atoms. These atoms combined together to form sulfur molecule i.e. S8.
What are the similarity between a sulfur atom and a sulfur molecule?
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
What are the similarities between a sulfur atom and a sulfur molecule?
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
What is the difference between a sulfur molecule and a sulfur dioxide molecule?
A sulfur molecule is 2 sulfur atoms covalently bonded. A sulfur dioxide molecule is a sulfur atom and 2 oxygen atoms covalently bonded.
Are the angles for lead and sulfur atoms 90 degrees?
Yes! Completely True.... And BTW This Is A Homework Question For Life Science Class And It's A Shame You Are Cheating LOL But I Cheat Too! So You Are Forgiven
What is molecular geometry of h2o?
In sulfur dioxide (SO2), the oxygens are bonded to the sulfur with a resonating double/single bond, and the sulfur has a lone pair around it. So with three things around the sulfur, it forms a trigonal planar geometry, but since you cannot see the lone pair on the sulfur, you say that the structure is "bent". The bond angle is about 119 degrees.
What is the difference between quartz and sulfur?
Quartz is the compound silicon dioxide (SiO2) and contains atoms of silicon and oxygen. It is usually clear. Sulfur is a simple element composed of sulfur atoms. It is opaque and yellow.
What type of bonds between the sulfur and oxygen atoms?
Covalent bond
What is the formula for a compound formed between aluminum and sulfur atoms?
Al2S3
How are ions of sulfur different than atoms of sulfur?
Sulfur ions are sulfur atoms that have gained two electrons.
