  2. Trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_bipyramidal...

    In chemistry, a trigonal bipyramid formation is a molecular geometry with one atom at the center and 5 more atoms at the corners of a triangular bipyramid. [1] This is one geometry for which the bond angles surrounding the central atom are not identical (see also pentagonal bipyramid), because there is no geometrical arrangement with five terminal atoms in equivalent positions.

    3, and the sulfite ion, SO 2− 3. In organic chemistry, molecules which have a trigonal pyramidal geometry are sometimes described as sp 3 hybridized. The AXE method for VSEPR theory states that the classification is AX 3 E 1. Phosphine, an example of a molecule with a trigonal pyramidal geometry.

    For many cases, such as trigonal pyramidal and bent, the actual angle for the example differs from the ideal angle, and examples differ by different amounts. For example, the angle in H 2 S (92°) differs from the tetrahedral angle by much more than the angle for H 2 O (104.48°) does.

    When τ 5 is close to 0 the geometry is similar to square pyramidal, while if τ 5 is close to 1 the geometry is similar to trigonal bipyramidal: Extreme values of τ 5 Square pyramidal geometry

  6. Triangular bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_bipyramid

    A triangular bipyramid is a known solution in the case of five electrons, placing vertices of a triangular bipyramid within a sphere. [18] This solution is aided by a mathematically rigorous computer. [19] A chemical compound's trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry may be described as the atom cluster of a triangular bipyramid

    Another example is O(SiH 3) 2 with an Si–O–Si angle of 144.1°, which compares to the angles in Cl 2 O (110.9°), (CH 3) 2 O (111.7°), and N(CH 3) 3 (110.9°). [24] Gillespie and Robinson rationalize the Si–O–Si bond angle based on the observed ability of a ligand's lone pair to most greatly repel other electron pairs when the ligand ...

  8. T-shaped molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shaped_molecular_geometry

    The T-shaped geometry is related to the trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry for AX 5 molecules with three equatorial and two axial ligands. In an AX 3 E 2 molecule, the two lone pairs occupy two equatorial positions, and the three ligand atoms occupy the two axial positions as well as one equatorial position. The three atoms bond at 90 ...

  9. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    An atom bonded to 5 other atoms (and no lone pairs) forms a trigonal bipyramid with two axial and three equatorial positions, but in the seesaw geometry one of the atoms is replaced by a lone pair of electrons, which is always in an equatorial position. This is true because the lone pair occupies more space near the central atom (A) than does a ...
