What shape and bond angles would this molecule have in three dimensions?

Darya [45]2 years ago

Answer : The shape and bond angle of the given molecule is, bent and 120^o respectively.

Explanation :

In the given molecule, 'Y' is the central atom and 'X' is the neighboring atom. In the given molecule, there are 4 electron pairs that means the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are two atoms around the central atom, the third and fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular and the bond angle will be, 120^o.

Hence, the shape and bond angle of the given molecule is, bent and 120^o respectively.

The shape of the given molecule is \boxed{{\text{bent}}}.

The bond angle is \boxed{109^\circ }.

Further explanation

The VSEPR theory is also known as valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. This theory is used to determine the geometry of a central atom or ion. It is based on the repulsion between bond pairs and lone pairs in the valence shell of the central atom.

The {\text{A}}{{\text{X}}_{\text{m}}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{n}}} classification is used to expresses the geometry of the central atom in VSEPR theory. In {\text{A}}{{\text{X}}_{\text{m}}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{n}}} classification, A is a central atom, X is covalent bond, E is the lone pair, m is the total number of covalent bond present on central atom, and n is the total number of lone pair present on the central atom

VSEPR model is employed to predict the shape of compounds with a nonmetal as the central atom.

Bond Angle: Bond Angle is the angle between the two bonds that are attached to same central atom.

Lone Pair: It refers to a pair of valence electrons that that is not shared with another atom.

Molecular Geometry: This is the 3-D arrangement of bonded atoms in a polyatomic ion or molecule.

Electron Pair Geometry: This is the 3-D arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom of a polyatomic ion or molecule.

The main difference between molecular geometry and electron pair geometry is that molecular geometry does not include unpaired electrons, whereas electron pair geometry includes both bonded atoms and unpaired electrons.

In the Lewis structure of the given molecule, Y is the central atom and X is the neighboring atom. As there are only two atoms around the central atom, the remaining position of the central atom will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. So, there are two bond pairs and two lone pairs. The repulsion between lone and bond pairs of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular and the bond angle will be 109\;^\circ.

Hence, the shape of the given molecule is, bent and the bond angle is 109\;^\circ. ( Refer to the attached image).

The s orbitals are said to be non directional what does it mean
ser-zykov [4K]

s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.

Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.

However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in  three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.

when propene gas (C3H6) is added to bromine liquid, another liquid is produced which has the formula C3H6Br2. what is the chemic
klio [65]

Answer:

C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

Explanation:

The reaction in which C3H6Br2 (1,2-Dibromopropane) is created is:

  • C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

We can see that the only difference between the product (C3H6Br2) and the known reactant (C3H6) of the reaction is two bromine atoms (Br2). Br2 is diatomic bromine - a molecule we get after combining two bromine atoms. This compound is a red-brown liquid at room temperature, which means that that is the liquid described in your question.
