draw the structure of the v shape of molecule and tetrahedral shape of molecule
Answers
V shape of molecule :
V Shape or Bent molecule is possessed by water molecule
H2O ----
CENTRAL ATOM : Oxygen
atomic number=8
electronic configuration =1s² 2s² 2p⁴[ 2px¹ 2py¹ 2pz¹)
valence electrons = 6
Because of two lone pairs in oxygen atom the bond angle is 104⁰ 31'
Hydrogen electronic configuration is 1s¹
Sp³ hybridization : one s (2s) orbital and three p orbitals (2px 2py and 2pz ) intermix and redistribute to give four identical sp³ orbitals.
two sp³ orbitals of oxygen atom overlap with two s orbitals of H atom to give σ sp³-s bonds . Due to lone pair lone pair repulsion and lone pair - bond pair repulsion bond angle of H2O is 104⁰ 31'
Tetrahedral shape of molecule : Example Methane- CH4
Methane undergoes sp3 hybridization with bond angle 109°28'
