  2. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Shape of water molecule showing that the real bond angle 104.5° deviates from the ideal sp 3 angle of 109.5°. In chemistry, Bent's rule describes and explains the relationship between the orbital hybridization and the electronegativities of substituents. [1] [2] The rule was stated by Henry A. Bent as follows: [2]

  3. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Bent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_bond

    Bent bonds are found in strained organic compounds such as cyclopropane, oxirane and aziridine. In these compounds, it is not possible for the carbon atoms to assume the 109.5° bond angles with standard sp 3 hybridization. Increasing the p-character to sp 5 (i.e. 1 ⁄ 6 s-density and 5 ⁄ 6 p-density) [5] makes it possible to reduce the bond ...

  5. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    This constraint removes one degree of freedom from the choices of (originally) six free bond angles to leave only five choices of bond angles. (The angles θ 11 , θ 22 , θ 33 , and θ 44 are always zero and that this relationship can be modified for a different number of peripheral atoms by expanding/contracting the square matrix.)

  6. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    There are several variants of bending, where the most common is AX 2 E 2 where two covalent bonds and two lone pairs of the central atom (A) form a complete 8-electron shell. They have central angles from 104° to 109.5°, where the latter is consistent with a simplistic theory which predicts the tetrahedral symmetry of four sp 3 hybridised ...

  8. VALBOND - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VALBOND

    The hybridization of the bonding orbitals are obtained from empirical formulas based on Bent's rule, which relates the preference towards p character with electronegativity. The VALBOND functions are suitable for describing the energy of bond angle distortion not only around the equilibrium angles, but also at very large distortions.
