In both water and dimethyl ether (CH3 —Ο — CH3 ),

Question: In both water and dimethyl ether (CH3 Ο CH3 ), the oxygen atom is the central atom and has the same hybridization, yet they have different bond angles. Which one has a greater bond angle? Give reason. Solution: Dimethyl ether will have a greater bond angle. There will be more repulsion between bond pairs of CH3 groups attached in ether than between bond pairs of hydrogen atoms attached to oxygen in the water....

Explain why PCl5 is trigonal bipyramidal

Question: Explain why PCl5 is trigonal bipyramidal whereas IF5 is square pyramidal. Solution: In PCl5, P has 5 valence electrons in orbitals and make 5 bonds with 5 Cl atoms, it will share one of its electrons from 3s to 3d orbital, therefore the hybridization will be sp3d and the geometry will be trigonal bipyramidal. IF5, the Iodine atom has 7 valence electrons in molecular orbitals it will form 5 bonds with 5 Cl atoms using 5 electrons from its molecular orbital, two electrons will form one l...

Explain the non-linear shape

Question: Explain the non-linear shape of H2 S and non-planar shape of PCl3 using valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. Solution: In H2S, the Sulphur atom is surrounded by the four electron pairs (two bond pairs and two lone pairs). These four electron pairs adopt tetrahedral geometry. The repulsion between the lone pair electrons brings distortion in the shape of the H2S. Thus, H2Sis not linear in shape....
