2023年1月30日 · Molecular geometry, also known as the molecular structure, is the three-dimensional structure or arrangement of atoms in a molecule. Understanding the molecular structure of a compound can help determine the polarity, reactivity, phase of matter, color, magnetism, as well as the biological activity.

2021年5月18日 · The electron-pair geometry and molecular structure of BCl 3 are both trigonal planar. Note that the VSEPR geometry indicates the correct bond angles (120°), unlike the Lewis structure shown above.
Molecular geometry - Wikipedia
The molecular geometry can be described by the positions of these atoms in space, evoking bond lengths of two joined atoms, bond angles of three connected atoms, and torsion angles (dihedral angles) of three consecutive bonds.
Molecular Geometry: Definition, Chart, Shapes, and Examples
A molecule consists of a central atom chemically bonded to several side atoms, resulting in a well-defined shape and a finite bond angle [1-4]. Molecular geometry is vital in chemistry to determine a substance’s physical and chemical properties, like color, reactivity, polarity, and state of matter. VSEPR Theory and Molecular Geometry
Molecular Geometry – Introductory Chemistry
In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line, and a bond angle is simply the geometric angle between two adjacent bonds. A simple triatomic molecule of the type [latex]\text{AX}_2[/latex] has its two bonding orbitals 180° apart.
Molecular Geometry and Bond Angles - ChemTalk
In this tutorial, you will learn how to identify the molecular geometry and bond angles of a molecule. You will learn about the more common molecular geometries: tetrahedral, linear, bent, trigonal pyramidal, and trigonal planar – along with their bond angles.
10.2: VSEPR Theory - The Five Basic Shapes - Chemistry LibreTexts
D With two nuclei around the central atom and one lone pair of electrons, the molecular geometry of SnCl 2 is bent, like SO 2, but with a Cl–Sn–Cl bond angle of 95°. The molecular geometry can be described as a trigonal planar arrangement with one vertex missing.
Molecular geometry - Definition, Determination, Types, VSEPR …
Molecular geometry gives information about the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other geometrical parameters that determine the position of each atom.
7.6 Molecular Structure and Polarity - Chemistry 2e - OpenStax
The basic geometry is trigonal planar with 120° bond angles, but we see that the double bond causes slightly larger angles (121°), and the angle between the single bonds is slightly smaller (118°).
Molecular Geometry - Oklahoma State University–Stillwater
Molecular geometry is the name of the geometry used to describe the shape of a molecule. The electron-pair geometry provides a guide to the bond angles of between a terminal-central-terminal atom in a compound.
