Question

Models are used to show which qualities of a compound’s chemical structure? a. bond angles c. bond length b. element color d. both a and c

Answer 1

Answer:

a. bond angles c. bond length

Explanation:

Models are abstractions of the real world. They are used to present either real or hypothetical situations either visually, graphically or through mathematical expressions.

• In chemistry, to show bond angles and bond lengths, different models are used.
• One of such is the VESPR - valence shell electron pair repulsion- theory which the model upon which the bond relationships between elements in a compound is shown.
• Also, the hybridization schemes are excellent models for showing bond relationships.
