Trigonal planars have a 180 degree bond angle but do bent trigonal planars also have a 180 degree bond angle? Thank you ^^

Answer:


The ideal bond angle is 120°, but the real bond angle of bent molecules is usually a few degrees less.


Explanation:


The bonds of a trigonal planar AX₃ molecule point toward the corners of an equilateral triangle.


They trisect a circle into three angles of 120° each.


An example is BF₃ (Figure 1). It is perfectly symmetrical, so the F-B-F bond angles are exactly 120°.


===============


Now, consider ozone (Figure 2).


The two O-O bonds are equivalent because of resonance.


There are two bonding groups and a lone pair, for a total of three electron groups.


The electron geometry is trigonal planar, and the molecular shape is bent.


However, the lone pair occupies more space than the bonding electrons.


It repels the bolding electrons, so the O-O-O bond angle is 116°, slightly less than the ideal angle of 120°.

trigonal planar means the molecule is planar n has a triangular shape. bond angle = 360/2 = 120deg.

bent trigonal planar means the molecular shape has been bent by some forces n its bond angle is no longer 120deg.

How many gallons of 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifre
Anarel [89]
Let A be the 80% solution and B be the 20% solution and P be the produce solution of 70%. Va and Vb and Vp are the volumes of A and B and P respectively.
Va + 60 = Vp
0.7Vp = 0.8Va + 0.2(60)
Substituting the value of Vp from the first equation:
0.7(Va + 60) = 0.8Va + 12
30 = 0.1Va
Va = 300 gallons

What is the percent of Cr in Cr2O3
IgorLugansk [536]
The percentage of Chromium in Chromium Oxide is calculated as follow,

Step 1:
           Calculate Molar mass of Cr₂O₃,
Cr = 51.99 u
O = 16 u
So,
     2(51.99) + 3(16) = 103.98 + 48 = 151.98 u

Step 2:
          Secondly divide molar mass of only chromium with total mass of Cr₂O₃ and multiply with 100.
i.e.
                   = \frac{103.98}{151.98} × 100
                   
                   = 68.41 %
So, the %age composition of chromium in chromium oxide is 68.41 %.
