SHAPE OF WATER MOLECULE (H2O), SHAPES OF THE MOLECULES CONTAINING FIVE ELECTRON PAIRS
SHAPE OF WATER MOLECULE (H2O):
Chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. The bond pair of
the C-H bond will be closer to the central carbon atom in CH4
compared to the distance of the bond pair of the C-CL bond from the carbon atom
in CH3CL. As a result, the repulsion exerted by the bond pair of the
C-CL bond on the bond pairs of the three C-H bonds in CH3CL is less.
Therefore the bond angle increases.
SHAPES OF THE MOLECULESCONTAINING FIVE ELECTRON PAIRS:
Two pairs of the electrons occupy axial positions and the other three pairs occupy equatorial positions of a triangle. Hence the shape possessed by molecules with five pairs of electrons is triangle bi pyramidal
