  2. Eclipsed conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipsed_conformation

    In chemistry an eclipsed conformation is a conformation in which two substituents X and Y on adjacent atoms A, B are in closest proximity, implying that the torsion angle X–A–B–Y is 0°. [1] Such a conformation can exist in any open chain, single chemical bond connecting two sp 3-hybridised atoms, and it is normally a conformational ...

  3. Z-matrix (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-matrix_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, the Z-matrix is a way to represent a system built of atoms.A Z-matrix is also known as an internal coordinate representation.It provides a description of each atom in a molecule in terms of its atomic number, bond length, bond angle, and dihedral angle, the so-called internal coordinates, [1] [2] although it is not always the case that a Z-matrix will give information regarding ...

  4. Molecular symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_symmetry

    For example, the water molecule has three normal modes of vibration: symmetric stretch in which the two O-H bond lengths vary in phase with each other, asymmetric stretch in which they vary out of phase, and bending in which the bond angle varies. The molecular symmetry of water is C 2v with four irreducible representations A 1, A 2, B 1 and B 2.

  5. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formed by the last three atoms. There exists a mathematical relationship among the bond angles for one central atom and four ...

  6. 2.2.2-Propellane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.2.2-Propellane

    It is a hydrocarbon with formula C 8 H 12, or C 2 (C 2 H 4) 3. Its molecule has three rings with four carbon atoms each, sharing one CC bond. This compound is unstable (although not as much as [1.1.1]propellane; however it is less persistent than [1.1.1]propellane [1]). The bond angles on the shared carbons are considerably strained: three ...

  7. Carbon–hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–hydrogen_bond

    In chemistry, the carbon–hydrogen bond (C−H bond) is a chemical bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms that can be found in many organic compounds. [1] This bond is a covalent , single bond , meaning that carbon shares its outer valence electrons with up to four hydrogens.

  8. Ball-and-stick model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

    In a good model, the angles between the rods should be the same as the angles between the bonds, and the distances between the centers of the spheres should be proportional to the distances between the corresponding atomic nuclei. The chemical element of each atom is often indicated by the sphere's color. [2]

  9. Walsh diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walsh_diagram

    For the simplest AH 2 molecular system, Walsh produced the first angular correlation diagram by plotting the ab initio orbital energy curves for the canonical molecular orbitals while changing the bond angle from 90° to 180°. As the bond angle is distorted, the energy for each of the orbitals can be followed along the lines, allowing a quick ...
