The F-S-Cl bond angles in SFCl5 are approximately 90 degrees. This is due to the square pyramidal geometry of the molecule, where the five chlorine atoms surround the central sulfur atom in a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement with a lone pair on the sulfur.

What is the idealized bond angles for COCl2?

The outer electrons of As is 5, and there are 3 bonded Cl's. this makes the * electrons for the octet rule to be obeyed. therefore AsCl3 will bond with one lone pair, thus the bond angle will deviate from the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.50. VSEPR theory predicts that lone-pair bonding pair repusions are stronger than bondonding pair- bonding pair repulsions and the bond angle is predicted to be less than 109.50. the actual bond angle is around 980


What is A bond that is 5 percent ionic is considered?

A bond that is 5 percent ionic would be considered polar covalent. This means that the sharing of electrons between the atoms is uneven, resulting in partial charges on the atoms. The bond has some ionic character due to the difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved.


Is the bond between carbon and chlorine a polar covalent?

Yes, the bond between carbon and chlorine is considered to be a polar covalent bond. This is because chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, leading to an uneven distribution of electrons in the bond.


What type of bond holds nucleotide together?

A phosphodiester bond holds nucleotides together in DNA and RNA molecules. This bond links the 5' carbon of one nucleotide to the 3' carbon of the next nucleotide in the strand.


HCN bond angles around central atom?

HCN is linear. Both atoms are 180 degrees from one another. We know carbon has 4 valance electrons. And needs 4 bonds to complete the shell. Nitrogen has 5 and needs 3 to complete the shell. Hydrogen has 1 and needs 1 to complete the shell. So we want an arrangement where all shells are filled...ideally. We can do this with a single bond from H to C and a triple bond from N to C. C has no lone pairs...nothing else blocking the way. So we want the other two atoms on the carbon to be as far away from each other as possible...so it's a 180 angle. This kind of thing is only confusing because of examples like H2O that are bent...but remember the oxygen in H2O has a lone pairs that need to be repelled by other electrons...meaning lone pairs repel each other as well as other atoms and vice versa so you end up with much more difficult angles. But in this case, it's nice and simple. Linear molecule.
