bond shapes & angles Flashcards
AB2 - 2 bonds, 1 lone pair
linear
angle = 180
(just goes straight)
AB3 - 3 bonds, 0 lone pairs
trigonal planar
angle = 120
(1 line top, 2 line bottom)
AB3- 2 bonds, 1 lone pair
bent
angle = less than 120
(central top, 2 lines bottom)
AB4 - 4 bonds, 0 lone pairs
tetrahedral
angle = 109.5
(central with 1 top, 3 bottom)
AB4 - 3 bonds, 1 lone pair
trigonal pyramidal
angle = less than 109.5
(central atom top, 3 bottom)
AB4- 2 bonds, 2 lone pairs
bent
angle = less than 109.5
(2 lone pairs on central atom top, 2 lines down)
h20 most famous one
AB5- 5 bonds, 0 lone pairs
trigonal bipyramidal
angle = 120 & 90
(central atom middle, 5 lines all sides, looks like a star)
AB5- 4 bonds, 1 lone pair
see saw
angle = less than 120 & 90
(central atom, 4 look like see saw sticks)
AB5- 3 bonds, 2 lone pairs
t shaped
angle = less than 120 & 90
(lone pairs at the bottom, other atoms make a t at the top)
AB5- 2 bonds, 3 lone pairs
linear
angle = 180
(just goes straight and 3 electron pairs on every one)
AB6- 6 bonds, 0 lone pairs
octahedral
angle = 90
(central atom with evenly dispersed 6 sticks)
AB6- 5 bonds, 1 lone pair
square pyramidal
angle = less than 90
(central atom w lone pair at top, 3 sticks bottom, 2 sticks right and left)
AB6- 4 bonds, 2 lone pairs
square planar
angle = 90
(lone pairs at top and bottom of central atom, 2 sticks right, 2 sticks left)
