  2. Sulfur hexafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride

    6 has a molar mass of about 146 g/mol, and the speed of sound through the gas is about 134 m/s at room temperature, pitching the voice down. For comparison, the molar mass of air, which is about 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen, is approximately 30 g/mol which leads to a speed of sound of 343 m/s.

  3. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Geometry of the water molecule with values for O-H bond length and for H-O-H bond angle between two bonds. Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other geometrical parameters that ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    As such, the predicted shape and bond angle of sp 3 hybridization is tetrahedral and 109.5°. This is in open agreement with the true bond angle of 104.45°. The difference between the predicted bond angle and the measured bond angle is traditionally explained by the electron repulsion of the two lone pairs occupying two sp 3 hybridized orbitals.

  6. Pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_pyramidal...

    In chemistry, pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where in six atoms or groups of atoms or ligands are arranged around a central atom, at the vertices of a pentagonal pyramid. It is one of the few molecular geometries with uneven bond angles. [1] AX 6 E 1

  7. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    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 ), and methylene (CH 2 ).

  8. Octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_molecular_geometry

    For a free ion, e.g. gaseous Ni 2+ or Mo 0, the energy of the d-orbitals are equal in energy; that is, they are "degenerate". In an octahedral complex, this degeneracy is lifted. The energy of the d z 2 and d x 2 −y 2, the so-called e g set, which are aimed directly at the ligands are destabilized.

  9. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    For a tetrahedral molecule such as difluoromethane with two types of atom bonded to the central atom, the C-F bond to the more electronegative substituent (F) will involve a carbon orbital with less s character than the C-H bond, so that the angle between the C-F bonds is less than the tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5°.
