Which species has the smaller bond angle, h3o+ or h2o?

Chemistry

To answer this question,you have to know the molecular geometry of the compound. The molecular geometry is empirical for certain compounds. For H₂O, the bond angle is 109.5°. On the other hand, the bond angle for H₃O⁺ is between 104.5° and 109.5°. <em>So, the smaller bond angle would be H₃O⁺</em>.

Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

Which of these do not obey the octet rule? select all that apply. select all that apply. clo clo− clo2− clo3− clo4−?
ioda

The correct answer is ClO, ClO3-, ClO- and ClO4-

Kossel and Lewis in 1916 developed an important theory of chemical combination between atoms known as electronic theory of chemical bonding. According to this, atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another (gaining or losing) or by sharing of valence electron in order to have an octet( 8 electron) in their shells. This is known as octet rule.

In ClO2-, oxygen contains 8 electrons in its valence shell and oxygen will share one electron with chlorine to complete the octet of Cl. In other four, we can clearly see that there are more or less than 8 electrons in the outer shell of oxygen so we can clearly say that ClO, ClO3-, ClO- and ClO4-  are disobeying the octet rule.
