  2. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms form a 104.5° angle with the oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms are close to two corners of a tetrahedron centered on the oxygen. At the other two corners are lone pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in the bonding. In a perfect tetrahedron, the atoms would form a 109.5° angle, but the ...

    It exists whenever there is water with light hydrogen (protium, 1 H) and deuterium (D or 2 H) in the mix. This is because hydrogen atoms ( 1 H and 2 H) are rapidly exchanged between water molecules. Water containing 50% 1 H and 50% 2 H, is about 50% H 2 HO and 25% each of H 2 O and 2 H 2 O, in dynamic equilibrium . [ 2 ]

    The hydrogen–oxygen–hydrogen angle is 104.45°, which is less than the 109.47° for ideal sp 3 hybridization. The valence bond theory explanation is that the oxygen atom's lone pairs are physically larger and therefore take up more space than the oxygen atom's bonds to the hydrogen atoms. [75]

    Depiction of a hydrogen atom showing the diameter as about twice the Bohr model radius. (Image not to scale) A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen.The electrically neutral hydrogen atom contains a nucleus of a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force.

  6. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    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 peripheral atoms (labeled 1 through 4) expressed by the following determinant.

    2 O) is a simple triatomic bent molecule with C 2v molecular symmetry and bond angle of 104.5° between the central oxygen atom and the hydrogen atoms. Despite being one of the simplest triatomic molecules , its chemical bonding scheme is nonetheless complex as many of its bonding properties such as bond angle , ionization energy , and ...

  8. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Unlike a gas, a liquid maintains a fairly constant density and does not disperse to fill every space of a container.

  9. Heavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

    Since one in about every 6,400 hydrogen atoms is deuterium, a 50-kilogram (110 lb) human containing 32 kilograms (71 lb) of body water would normally contain enough deuterium (about 1.1 grams or 0.039 ounces) to make 5.5 grams (0.19 oz) of pure heavy water, so roughly this dose is required to double the amount of deuterium in the body.
