How do you draw the orbital overlap for H2O? How do you know the angle of which to draw the bonds?

Solutions

Expert Solution

H-O-H bond angle is 104.5degree.

Hybridisation of central atom is SP3. So orientation of four hybrid orbitals around oxygen is tetrahedral. As there are two lone pairs on oxygen atom the becomes angular or v shaped.

An s orbital and a p orbital can overlap to make a sigma bond as follows: The two in-phase lobes overlap and there is symmetry about the internuclear axis. For each type of bonding below, select one p orbital (any of your choosing) and one d orbital (again, any one you feel appropriate). You can (and probably need to!) select different orbitals for each example. Identify each orbital (by name), make sure to mark the phase of each lobe (+...

How do you know what formula to use when solving an geometry angle question. For example: Jessica sits on top of a 150ft tower. Suddenly she sees a boat from where she sits. If the angle of depression of the boat is 6 degrees, how far is the boat from the base of the tower? sin 6 degrees= .10 cos 6 degrees =.99 tan 6 degrees =.11 the book used tan 6 degrees to solve, looking for the adjacent side...
