Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle methane?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
The lone pair - OH bond repulsion in water is greater than the OH bond- OH bond repulsion. In methane all of the bonds are the same so it has perfect tetrahedral symmetry. This is VSEPR theory

What is the molecule geometry for ici4?
The molecular geometry is square planar and the bond angle is 90 degrees
What is the bond angle in propyne?
180
What is the bond angle of BeH2?
180 degree
What is the smallest bond angle in ClF5?

What is the electron domain geometry of H2O?
The bond angle between the two hydrogen is 104.5 degrees. If it weren't for the two unshared pairs of electrons pushing those atoms into a v-shape, the molecule would be linear.
The bond angle in a water molecule is?
The water molecule's bond angle is about 104.45 degrees.
What is the bond angle in a linear molecule?
The bond angle in the linear molecule is 180 degrees.
Why it is likely bond angle for selenium hydride?
If the question is "What is the likely bond angle for selenium hydride," then the answer is 105 degrees, just like a water molecule.
What bond is formed in methane?
Methane is a molecule with covalent bonds. Then again, there are different types of bonds. To be specific, Methane is a tetrahedral molecule with covalent long single bonds.
What is the angle between the bonds of a water molecule?
The bond angle of the H-O-H is equivalent to 105 degrees.
The geometry of a water molecule is what?
the water molecule is bent because of the two pairs of electrons around the oxygen.
Are water molecules a bent molecule?
Yes, water is a bend molecule with a bond angle of about 105 degrees. They are described as bent planar (or V shaped)
What is the Bond Angle Of Estradiol?
The question is nonsense. WHICH bond angle? There are many of them in a molecule the size of estradiol.
What is the bond angle of a tetrahedral molecule?
round about 109.5
What is the molecular geometry of SiCl4 angle?
A tetrahedral molecule will have a 109.5 degree bond angle.
What is the bond angle of the CS2 molecule?
180 degrees as it is linear
What is hydrogen's bond angle?
Hydrogen the molecule doesn't have a bond angle. You have to have an atom with at least two other atoms bonded to it to have a bond angle, and hydrogen has only two atoms total.
