  2. Square planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_planar_molecular...

    Representative d-orbital splitting diagrams for square planar complexes featuring σ-donor (left) and σ+π-donor (right) ligands. A general d-orbital splitting diagram for square planar (D 4h) transition metal complexes can be derived from the general octahedral (O h) splitting diagram, in which the d z 2 and the d x 2 −y 2 orbitals are degenerate and higher in energy than the degenerate ...

  3. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    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.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Some common shapes of simple molecules include: Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line. The bond angles are set at 180°. For example, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide have a linear molecular shape. Trigonal planar: Molecules with the trigonal planar shape are somewhat triangular and in one plane (flat). Consequently ...

  5. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

  6. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The complex number z can be represented in rectangular form as = + where i is the imaginary unit, or can alternatively be written in polar form as = (⁡ + ⁡) and from there, by Euler's formula, [14] as = = ⁡. where e is Euler's number, and φ, expressed in radians, is the principal value of the complex number function arg applied to x + iy ...

  7. 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. Polar decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_decomposition

    In this polar decomposition, the unit circle has been replaced by the line x = 1, the polar angle by the slope y/x, and the radius x is negative in the left half-plane. If x 2 ≠ y 2, then the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 and its conjugate x 2 − y 2 = −1 can be used to form a polar decomposition based on the branch of the unit hyperbola ...

  9. Linear molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_molecular_geometry

    Linear organic molecules, such as acetylene (HC≡CH), are often described by invoking sp orbital hybridization for their carbon centers. Two sp orbitals According to the VSEPR model (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model), linear geometry occurs at central atoms with two bonded atoms and zero or three lone pairs ( AX 2 or AX 2 E 3 ) in ...
