What is the molecular geometry or shape of chloroform CHCl3?
The molecular geometry is tetrahedral. The orbitals are sp^3 hybridized. The molecule is polar. The bond angles are 109.47 degrees.
Why NH4 and BH4- are isolobal?
They are isoelectronic, and have similar bonding with a tetrahedral shape (valence bond theory sp3 hybridized) Isolobal refer to frontier orbitals on molecular fragemts such as free radicals not to stable species such a s ammonium cation and tetrahydroborate anion
Shape of sublevels?
's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird
What type of bonding is responsible for maintaining the shape of the tRNA molecule?
hydrogen bonding between base pairs
What is the shape of sp3?
sp3 orbitals are similar in shape to p orbitals however one side is much larger than the other - hence you have a lopsided dunbell shape orbital
What is the molecular geometry or shape of chloroform CHCl3?
The molecular geometry is tetrahedral. The orbitals are sp^3 hybridized. The molecule is polar. The bond angles are 109.47 degrees.
What shape does the molecule CH2O have?
It is formaldehyde in which carbon atom is sp2 hybridized so it is a triangular molecule with bond angles of 1200 .
What is the hybridization of the bonding orbitals in carborn tetrachloride?
As the CCl4 molecule has a regular tetrahedral shape the hybridisation is sp3
What affects shape of a molecule?
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
What are the hybrid orbitals in a molecule with a tetrahedral shape?
In a tetrahedral molecule eg methane (CH4), hybridisation occurs between the 2s orbital and three p orbitals to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. See: http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtext/chembond/cb06.html and: http://www.mikeblaber.org/oldwine/chm1045/notes/Geometry/Hybrid/Geom05.htm
What is hybridization in sp orbitals?
Hybrid orbitals are orbitals of equal energy produced by the combination of two or more orbitals on the same atom. The number of hybrid orbitals produced equals the number of orbitals that have combined.
Why NH4 and BH4- are isolobal?
They are isoelectronic, and have similar bonding with a tetrahedral shape (valence bond theory sp3 hybridized) Isolobal refer to frontier orbitals on molecular fragemts such as free radicals not to stable species such a s ammonium cation and tetrahydroborate anion
What is a orbitals shape?
oval
Shape of sublevels?

What are the four orbitals called in an atom?
Answer: s, p, d, and f -orbitals, differing in 'shape'.
How does the shape of molecule affect the polarity of the molecule?
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
