What molecule has a tetrahedral shape?
Do i look like einstein
Why is the tetrahedral angle 109.5?
Actually, carbon's bonding angle varies depending on the compound it is in. In methane (CH4), for example, the molecule takes a tetrahedral shape. However, in carbon dioxide (CO2), the molecule takes a linear shape. This is due to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory, which states that lone pair electrons and bonds will spread out as evenly as possible in 3 dimensions The molecular geometry (i.e., shape) of a molecule is determined by the total number of electron pairs and bonds (double and triple bonds count as one bond). The carbon in methane has four bonds and no lone pairs, making its molecular geometry tetrahedral. The angles of a tetrahedron measure 109.6o, so carbon's bonding angle in methane is 109.6o.
What shape is represented by three bound groups and a lone pair around a central atom?
The four electron pairs form a basically tetrahedral shape, but with the angles between the bond pairs slightly smaller than the bond pair to lone pair angle. Ammonia has this shape and the HNH angle is 107 degrees. If you only consider the atoms the shape is called trigonal pyramidal.
What kind of angle are there?
Right angle (90) Acute angle (<90) Obtuse angle (>90) Straight angle (180) Reflex angle (>180)
What is the incidence angle at which the angle of refraction is 90 degrees called?
