The main idea is that electrons don’t like to hang around near each other because they repel each other. As a result, the atoms in a molecule tend to separate as far as they can because their bonds repel each other.
2) For each of the following compounds, determine the bond angles,
molecular shapes, and hybridizations for all atoms:
a) carbon tetrachloride
Carbon is tetrahedral, 109.50 bond
angle, and sp3 hybridized.
Chlorine is linear, has no bond angle,
and is sp3 hybridized
b) BH3
Boron is trigonal planar, 1200 bond
angle, and sp2 hybridized.
Hydrogen is linear, has no bond
angle, and no hybridization
c) silicon disulfide Silicon is linear, has a 1800 bond angle, and is sp hybridized.
Sulfur is linear, has no bond
angle, and is sp2 hybridized.
d) C2H2 Carbon is linear, has a 1800 bond angle, and is sp hybridized.
