Aug 27, 2014 · I have been trying to find out the bond angle of $\\ce{H2O}$, but every site I visit has a different answer. So far, I have found the following angles listed: Site 1: 104.4º Site 2: …

Aug 7, 2014 · I know that bond angle decreases in the order $\\ce{H2O}$, $\\ce{H2S}$ and $\\ce{H2Se}$. I wish to know the reason for this. I think this is because of the lone pair …

Sep 27, 2023 · Consider the bent shape of $\\ce{H2O}$ with a bond angle of $104°$. From my understanding, this is due to the lone pair repulsion between the 2 pairs of lone pair electrons. …

Nov 24, 2015 · We know from experimental data that H−O−H H O H bond angle in water is approximately 104.5 degrees. If its two lone pairs were bonds (which is unfortunately …

Feb 22, 2018 · H2O has two lone pair electron and H2S also have two lone pair electron but Bond Angle in H2O is 104.5° but H2S has 92.12°bond Angle . Both H2O and H2S has same …

Aug 10, 2023 · The angle between the two Hydrogen atoms, ie the bond angle, is 104.45 degrees. This differs from the normal 109.5 degrees because the two lone electron pairs repel …

Nov 3, 2024 · Why is the bond angle H-P-H smaller than H-N-H? (3 answers) Why do compounds like SF6 and SF4 exist but SH6 and SH4 don't? (9 answers) Why sp3 hybridisation in NH3 but …

Aug 9, 2019 · Closed 6 years ago. Why is the binding angle of HOF (101°) lesser than that of H2O? (104.5°) Since fluorine has unpaired electrons wouldn't it repel hydrogen more strongly …

Jul 10, 2015 · I noticed the fact that all the hydrides of the elements belonging to group IV has bond angle 109.5° while in group V it varies from 107.3° for $\\ce{NH3}$ to 91.3° for …

Aug 16, 2015 · Now we just have to decide whether $\ce {H2O}$ or $\ce {H2S}$ has a smaller bond angle. We can apply the hybridisation arguments given by @ron in the answer I linked …
