Video transcript

Everyone for the following molecule will have to provide the approximate value for the specified bond angle in the structure. We have carbons A and B. Label. If we look at carbon A, We have 1, 2, 34 electron groups around it. So this is gonna be tetra hydro geometry. We have no long pairs. The bond angle is gonna be 109.5° for carbon B. We have one too electron groups around it. This gonna be linear geometry. We have no long pairs For the bond angle. It's going to be 180°. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful.

(b) How would you expect the H¬X¬H bond angle to vary in the series H2O, H2S, H2Se? Explain. (Hint: The size of an electron pair domain depends in part on the electronegativity of the central atom.)
