the bond angle of H2O is 104.5 the deviation from the tetrahedral angle 109.5 the repulsion between the two lone pair of electrons with bond pair angle decreases from 109.5 to 104.5 so the molecule of water has bent or angular structure

What type of compound is Cl2O?
Chlorine(I) Oxide is a covalently bonded molecule which has the same geometry as in water molecule.
What general patterns exist for identifying the electron geometry of a molecule?
To determine the structural geometry of a molecule, structural pair geometry must be used. These are the amounts of pairs found surrounding a specific molecule, and they are unique to each type of atom.
The geometry of a hydrogen-bromine molecule is?
linear
What does vsepr theory tell us about a molecule?
VSEPR predict the geometry of a chemical molecule.
Molecule geometry of HNO2?
trigonal planar
The electron geometry of a water molecule is even though the molecular geometry is bent?
The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is _____. Bent
Does the water molecule have a bent geometry shape?
yes it does, because the oxygen contains lone pairs which makes the water molecule a bent geometry shape.
What kind of geometry do water molecule go along with?
A water molecule is considered to be V(or bent) shape.
What happens to life without geometry?
There would be no life because without the geometry of the water molecule, there would be no water. No water, no life.
The geometry of a water molecule is?
bent
What type of compound is Cl2O?
Chlorine(I) Oxide is a covalently bonded molecule which has the same geometry as in water molecule.
Why does water have a molecular geometry instead of bein linear?
Water is not a linear molecule because of the location of oxygen's electron orbits. The bonding electrons are angled and this results in the shape of the molecule.
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs?
Bent, like water.
Geometry for P in PCl6-?
electron-pair geometry is octahedral with no LPs and the molecule geometry is octahedral
What is the structural geometry of the NOF molecule?
Molecular geometry will be bent, electron geometry will be trigonal planar
What general patterns for identifying the electron geometry of a molecule?
To determine the structural geometry of a molecule, structural pair geometry must be used. These are the amounts of pairs found surrounding a specific molecule, and they are unique to each type of atom.
The geometry of a methane molecule is that of a?
tetrahedron
