If you draw out the Lewis Structure you can see that CHClO has a central atom of C with a single bond to H, a single bond to Cl, and a double bond to O. Since C has 4 bonds it is happy with all of its 8 electrons and has no lone pair electrons; therefor there are only 3 forces off of C that we have to worry about. These 3 forces are going to want to push each other away as far as possible. While Cl is going to be stronger than H in pushing force the farthest possible is still going to be trigonal planar geometry, which is a flat 2D triangle, like what you would draw on paper when sketching the Lewis structure. The approximate bond angles in CHClO are therefor going to be 120o (360o/3 = 120o). However, for future reference, the approximate bond angles are only exact when all charge clouds are equivalent. For example, CHClO is trigonal planar with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees, but BCl3 is trigonal planar with bond angles of exactly 120 degrees. Molecules that contain a lone pair on the central atom show even more distortion in the bond angles.

Molecular shape for CHClO?
trigonal planar
What is the molar mass of SiC?
Molar Mass of Carbon + Molar Mass of Silicon = Molar Mass of SiC. 12.0107 + 28.0855 = 40.0962 g / mol.
What is a characteristic of Euclidean geometry?
One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.
What is the electron geometry for OF2?
molecular geometry is bent, electron geometry is tetrahedral
What is the structural geometry of NOF?
Molecular geometry will be bent, electron geometry will be trigonal planar
What the molecular shape geometry of ChClO?
The geometric shape is trigonal planar.
What are the approximate bond angles in CHClO?
The approximate bond angles in CHClO is 120 degrees.
Molecular shape for CHClO?
trigonal planar
What are some real world applications of geometry?
Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry
What is molar conductivity at infinite dilution?
Molar conductivity at infinite dilution is when molar conductivity is limited. Molar conductivity is when electrolyte conductivity is divided by molar concentration.
What are the four aspects of geometry?
* geometry in nature * for practcal use of geometry * geometry as a theory * historic practical use of geometry
What is the molar mass of SiC?
Molar Mass of Carbon + Molar Mass of Silicon = Molar Mass of SiC. 12.0107 + 28.0855 = 40.0962 g / mol.
Different types of geometry?
Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few
Is there more than one kind of geometry?
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
If you know the molar masses of the reactants in a chemical reaction can you determine the molar masses of the products?
If you know know the molar masses of the reactants in a chemical reaction you can determine the molar masses of the products because the combined molar masses of the reactants equals the combined molar masses of the products.
What specific applications of geometry are used in civil engineering?
Fun geometry, specific geometry, monster geometry, egg geometry, trees, turtles.
What is the molar concentration of nitric acid?
16 molar.
