Best Answer

Bond angle can be caused by internal angle between the orbitals having bonded pair of électrons, hybridization, presence of lone pair of electrons and electronegativity of the atom. and also Bond energy

What did Watson need to consider when he worked out the DNA base pairing?

- Bond angles - Bond lengths - The location of hydrogen atoms - Chargaff's pairs (although he didn't recognize them at the time)


What causes a hydrogen bond?

When a molecule expands within a hydrogen atom it is released by an incorrerated molecule inside a desticated part of the atom.


Does AlCl3 have a dipole moment?

No, it doesn't. Dipole moment is the measure polarity of a polar covalent bond


Is ammonia molecule a tetrahedral?

The bond angles between two N-H bonds in ammonia are close to the bond angles characteristic of a tetrahedron, but the molecule as a whole is not a tetrahedron because one of the four bonds to a central atom found in an actual tetrahedral molecule is missing; there are only three hydrogen atoms bound to a central nitrogen atom in ammonia. In an ammonium ion, however, the tetrahedron is complete.
