  2. Thiosulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiosulfate

    Thiosulfate (IUPAC-recommended spelling; sometimes thiosulphate in British English) is an oxyanion of sulfur with the chemical formula S 2 O 2− 3.Thiosulfate also refers to the compounds containing this anion, which are the salts of thiosulfuric acid, such as sodium thiosulfate Na 2 S 2 O 3 and ammonium thiosulfate (NH 4) 2 S 2 O 3.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.

    Consequently, the bond angles are set at 120°. For example, boron trifluoride. Angular: Angular molecules (also called bent or V-shaped) have a non-linear shape. For example, water (H 2 O), which has an angle of about 105°. A water molecule has two pairs of bonded electrons and two unshared lone pairs.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    In water and ammonia, the situation is more complicated because the bond angles are 104.5° and 107° respectively, which are less than the expected tetrahedral angle of 109.5°. One rationale for those deviations is VSEPR theory , where valence electrons are assumed to lie in localized regions and lone pairs are assumed to repel each other to ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...
