  2. Tetrafluoroberyllate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrafluoroberyllate

    The Be–F bond length is between 145 and 153 pm.The beryllium is sp 3 hybridized, leading to a longer bond than in BeF 2, where beryllium is sp hybridized. [11] In trifluoroberyllates, there are actually BeF 4 tetrahedra arranged in a triangle, so that three fluorine atoms are shared on two tetrahedra each, resulting in a formula of Be 3 F 9.

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

  4. Linear molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_molecular_geometry

    Structure of beryllium fluoride (BeF 2), a compound with a linear geometry at the beryllium atom. The linear molecular geometry describes the geometry around a central atom bonded to two other atoms (or ligands) placed at a bond angle of 180°.

  5. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Lewis structure is best used to calculate formal charges or how atoms bond to each other as both electrons and bonds are shown. Lewis structures give an idea of the molecular and electronic geometry which varies based on the presence of bonds and lone pairs and through this one could determine the bond angles and hybridization as well.

  6. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    According to VSEPR theory, diethyl ether, methanol, water and oxygen difluoride should all have a bond angle of 109.5 o. [12] Using VSEPR theory, all these molecules should have the same bond angle because they have the same "bent" shape. [12] Yet, clearly the bond angles between all these molecules deviate from their ideal geometries in ...

  7. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    Water (H 2 O) is an example of a bent molecule, as well as its analogues. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°. [ 1 ] Nonlinear geometry is commonly observed for other triatomic molecules and ions containing only main group elements, prominent examples being nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dichloride (SCl 2 ...

  8. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    In accordance with the VSEPR (valence-shell electron pair repulsion theory), the bond angles between the electron bonds are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.47°. For example, methane (CH 4) is a tetrahedral molecule. Octahedral: Octa-signifies eight, and -hedral relates to a face of a solid, so "octahedral" means "having eight faces". The bond ...

  9. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The bond angle for water is 104.5°. Valence shell electron pair repulsion ( VSEPR ) theory ( / ˈ v ɛ s p ər , v ə ˈ s ɛ p ər / VESP -ər , [ 1 ] : 410 və- SEP -ər [ 2 ] ) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.
