A molecule with a bent shape with a bond angle of 104.5 would have how many unshared electrons around the central atom Count electrons not electron pairs?
four electrons . four electrons .
Why does the presence of lone pairs contribute to the polarity of a water molecule?
How do lone pairs around the central atom affect the polarity of the molecule?
What does the vsepr theory explain for covalent bonds?
VSEPR theory explains the geometry around a central atom in terms of repulsion beween pairs of electrons, pairs involved in bonding and lone pairs.
What type of bonding around a central would result in a trigonal planar molecule -apex?
3 atoms around a central atom with no lone pairs.
Meaning of non bonding electron bond?
As a start: Electrons that are not share between atoms. covalent bonds along with pie bonds require two electrons per bond. the two electrons in the bond are shared electrons or bonding electrons. Atoms such as oxygen and nitrogen have electrons that are not part of a bond. Oxygen is in group VI so it wants to have 6 electrons around it. it gets 2 of its electrons from bonds. the other 4 come from non bonding electrons or two pair of electrons. Nitrogen is in group V so it only wants 5 electrons. Thus, it has three bonds and one non bonding electron pair.

Which molecular shape has two lone pairs and two bonding pairs of electrons around the central atom?
linear
How many unshared pairs of electrons are in hydrogen iodide?
Oxygen has six (6) valence electrons. In the formation of a water molecule, two (2) of the valence electrons forms a covalent bond with two other hydrogen atoms leaving the water molecule with 2 unshared pairs of electron.
What is the definition of lone pairs of electrons?
The lone pair electron region is the place around the central atom where electrons not bonding with another atom can be found. A lone pair of electrons are electrons that are not bonded with other atoms.
What type of bond is a molecule of water?
It is a polar covalent bond. This is due to unshared and unpaired electrons around the oxygen atom.
What is Electron pair repulsions between two unshared pairs of electrons?
Lets look at a water molecule, H2O. The central atom is the larger oxygen atom, which has 6 electrons in its outer shell (and is therefore in the 6A column of the periodic chart). They divide into 4 orbitals, so 2 orbitals will have 2 electrons, and 2 will have just one. Those unpaired electrons share the electron of a hydrogen atom to form a water molecule. All of the electron pairs (whether shared or not) are negatively charged, and since like charges repulse, they are all trying to repulse each other. But the unshared electron pairs are a little stronger (they don't have a positively-charged hydrogen atom lurking around), and so they actuall shove the hydrogen atoms closer together than they would like to be, Just from the geolmetry, we'd expect the hydrogen bonds to be separated by an angle of 109 degrees, but the strong unshared electron pairs push them toward each other so that their angle is 105 degrees.
Which electrons are involved in bonding'?
At times the electrons involved in bonding are shared equally between the nuclei of two atoms and the bond is called a pure covalent bond. More often, however, the sharing is unequal and the electrons spend more time around the nucleus
What causes water molecules to have a bent shape according to VSEPR threory?
Repulsion of the unshared electron pairs (2)and the bonded pairs (2) around the central oxygen atom. Repulsion of these 4 electron pairs attempts to form a tetrahedral shape. Describing the molecular shape, we ignore the unshared electrons and just describe the shape of the molecule based on the location of the atoms, thus bent.
