Explain why bond angle of H2O is greater than OF2

Chemistry
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago

It's only a small difference (103 degrees versus 104 degrees in water), and I believe the usual rationalization is that since F is more electronegative than H, the electrons in the O-F bond spend more time away from the O (and close to the F) than the electrons in the O-H bond. That shifts the effective center of the repulsive force between the bonding pairs away from the O, and hence away from each other. So the repulsion between the bonding pairs is slightly less, while the repulsion between the lone pairs on the O is the same -- the result is the angle between the bonds is a little less.

Hope this helps!

What causes a substance to change states of matter?

Energy causes a substance to change states of matter. A matter needs energy to melt, evaporate, boil. Remember: Energy has a sudden change, but the temperature remains absolutely the same. An example of a change in energy is when ice is melting.

Hope I helped (:

Find the volume of 20g of H₂ at STP<br><br>​
ANEK [815]

Answer:224

Explanation:

We should answer it with Stoichiometry

We say: 20 g H2× (1 mol/ 2g)× ( 22.4 lit/ 1 mol) = 224

Means: we have 20 grams and every 2g H2, equals to 1 mol of it and every 1 mol of H2, equals to 22.4 lit( because of STP)

hope you got this:)

If 85.0 L of helium at 29.0°C is compressed to 32.0 L at constant pressure, what is the new temperature?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

113.69°k

Explanation:

V1=85L of helium                         V2=32L

T1= 29°C +273= 302°K                 T2=?

     T2=<u>TIV2</u>

              V1

    T2=<u>(302)(32)</u>= <u>9664</u>

                85           85

    T2=  113.69°K

Help! 15 Points!<br><br> Science!
Klio2033 [76]
Don't take my word for it but I think it is
1: proteins 
2: energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water
3: this one is confusing me but I think it would be nutrients from food and oxygen
4: water
 Again these are attempts I can't prove these
