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.

What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?
Maslowich

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

1-Find the molar mass of the substance.

2-H3PO4

3-New atoms are created.

4-The ratios of the number of moles of each substance that react and that are produced.

5-conservation of mass

6-The number of atoms for every element is equal on both sides of the equation.

7-1:1

8-1:03

9-5.50%
