THIS IS THE METHOD FOR CALCULATION BOND ANGLES. Doesn't work for all molecules but... Every lone you have, subtract 2.5° degree from 109.5°. Eg. H2O (H=O=H) Oxygen has two long pairs. Subtract 5° from 109.5°=104.5° (109.5° is the bond angle of tetrahedral shape molecule)

[@fortuneless]

but PH3 has only 1 lone pair if i substract 2.5° from 109.5° i get 107°. but the bond angle of PH3 is supposed to be 93.6° my exams are in like 3 hours.

[@Mr-E.]

@@fortuneless Interesting - is PH3 maybe an exception but otherwise Jianghao's method works?

[@mattNYSD]

An explanation as to why the NH3 and CH3CN molecules have the bond angle they do would be far more helpful here, rather than just trying to memorize them.

[@meghang9517]

im not sure if this will help but it’s basically to make room for the lone pair of electrons

[@meghang9517]

it’s almost like in NH3 there are 4 areas of electron density but because there are three bonds and one lone pair it is pyramidal with a diff bond angle

[@i_am_gods_child]

for the people asking, yeah you do have to memorise them (for this level of chemistry anyway) - the 3D structure of the molecule if it has X number of bonding pair electrons and Y number of lone pairs around the central atom (when you draw out the Lewis structure), and what will the angles be, and what do we call that structure (trigonal pyramidal, trigonal planar etc...) Its about how much electrons repel eachother, and lone pairs will have a higher density so sorta 'squash' the bond angle more. I'm sure there is a good video about it somewhere! :)

Hybridization of of Water Molecule is Sp3 and u know the concept of VSEPR Theory , Lone pair- lone pair- repulsion> lone pair- bond pair repulsion > bond pair- bond pair repulsion. So , oxygen having two lone pair in water molecule that's why bond angle of H2O is 104°

I know the lone pair electrons are involved in determining the shape but how do you know... how the lone pairs will react with the other atoms that are bonded to predict its shape?

[@zannysquad8546]

most atoms will have 8 electrons around it (octet rule)

[@nurulsolehah6801]

The lone pairs will repel the electrons in the bonds with the other atoms. Thus, have smaller angles than a molecule with the same number of bonded pair...if you get what I mean. Hope it helps.

Guys, we have to memorise these bond angles.

[@caroline-pm4mo]

what grade do you learn this?

[@bebridge3023]

11 i think

[@sohatsharma2004]

why is the second one linear molecular shap. Isnt the molecular shape bent and tetrahedral.

[@sammadsaeed3373]

Nope the second one has 2 bonding pairs and no lone pairs. Remember those 3 bonds N made with C we count that as 1 in bond angles! But there is no lone pair as carbon is making 4 bonds. So the central carbon makes 1 with the other carbon and makes the rest with nitrogen. It is like this C-C---N ( 3 lines are the 3 bonds). This is linear. Bent has a 120 degree angle if there are 2 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair or of there are 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs!

[@imtypingwords]

But how do we know they are those angles? Like, is this just a theory? Did someone measure the angle? What experiment proves these angles? How do we verify said angles? I'm not in college or know much about chemistry but I question how any of this is known when we can't when see these things.

[@prismaticerror6911]

This is a theory, meaning it's the closest thing to truth the universe has. We actually can see atoms using special microscopes. For measuring charges and shit I recommend looking it up online, there are tons of experiments that go into things like this

huh 109°? why not 90°? is that because the bonding is in a pyramid shape?

Because carbon assumes a Tetrahedral shape when attached to 4
