Does the water molecule have a bent or straight shape?
bent
What causes water molecules to have a bent shape according to VSEPR threory?
Repulsion of the unshared electron pairs (2)and the bonded pairs (2) around the central oxygen atom. Repulsion of these 4 electron pairs attempts to form a tetrahedral shape. Describing the molecular shape, we ignore the unshared electrons and just describe the shape of the molecule based on the location of the atoms, thus bent.
Do all bent molecules have the same geometry?
No they do not.
What is Cl2O molecular shape?
It is bent
Does OF2 have a bent shape?
Yes
What general shape do molecules have?
The general shape is "bent".
What general shape do water molecules have?
Water molecules have a bent or V-shape due to the repulsion between the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.
What shapes do water molecules have?
The general shape is "bent".
What molecules or ions has a bent shapepcl5 ph3 of2 clo4?
PCL5: Trigonal bipyramidal shape PH3: Trigonal pyramidal shape OF2: Bent shape ClO4-: Tetrahedral shape
What are the molecules has a bent shape?
Water (H2O) is a molecule that has a bent shape due to its two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom, causing the hydrogen atoms to be at an angle of approximately 104.5 degrees. Another example is sulfur dioxide (SO2), which also has a bent shape due to the lone pair of electrons on the sulfur atom, causing the oxygen atoms to be at an angle of approximately 119 degrees.
Which molecules of ions has a bent shape out of ClO4 PH3 OF2 PCl5?
BeCl2
Why do water molecules have bent shape and carbon dioxide molecules have a linear shape?
Water molecules have a bent shape due to the presence of two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom, causing repulsion and bending the molecule. Carbon dioxide molecules have a linear shape because the central carbon atom forms double bonds with the two oxygen atoms, positioning them in a straight line.
What molecule or ions has a bent shape?
OF2 has a bent shape.
When was Bent Out of Shape created?
Bent Out of Shape was created in 1983-05.
Which of these adjectives does not apply to a water molecules bentpolarorganiccovalent?
Bent does not apply to a water molecule. Water molecules have a bent shape due to the arrangement of the hydrogen atoms around the oxygen atom. Polar, organic, and covalent are all characteristics that can be used to describe water molecules.
How do you find if a molecule has a linear shape?
No, many linear molecules are nonpolar. A polar substance often has a bent or otherwise asymmetrical structure.
What shape is O3?
Bent shape
