Differences between H-H-O and H-O-H - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Jan 14, 2015 · To add to this, there are exceptions to the 'hydrogen only makes one bond' rule of thumb, in the form of unusual as found for instance in boranes, however this does not apply to 'H-H-O'. …
Why is it OH- and not HO-? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
I am told that in a chemical equation the metal comes first and then the non metal. for example MgO, ZnSO 4,etc. But when both the elements are non metals or metals, the one with the lower atomic …
Estimation of the bond angle of water - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Nov 24, 2015 · We know from experimental data that H−O−H H O H bond angle in water is approximately 104.5 degrees. If its two lone pairs were bonds (which is unfortunately impossible) …
Configuration of a water molecule? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Apr 29, 2014 · The linked Google search mainly finds "Why is the bond angle of water 104.5∘ ∘ and not 109.5∘ 109.5 ∘. If using the VSEPR model, the nonbonding electron domains on water (the lone …
organic chemistry - Why total heat of hydrogenation of 1,3 ...
Jan 29, 2019 · I'm told that heat of hydrogenation (HOH) is directly proportional to number of π bonds and inversely proportional to stability. So, is the aromaticity responsible for this? Also, what is the …
Why is the binding angle of HOF lesser than that of H2O, despite the ...
Aug 9, 2019 · In X2O X 2 O molecules, such as H2O H 2 O, F2O F 2 O, Cl2O C l 2 O, the oxygen is at the center of a tetrahedron and therefore theoretically the X-O-X bond angle should be 109.5°. …
Do chemists refer to water as "dihydrogen monoxide"?
Feb 17, 2014 · 20 Is the name "Dihydrogen monoxide" actually what chemists would use to refer to $\ce {H2O}$ (assuming there was no common name, "water")?
Which of the following has a stronger hydrogen bonding: F-H- -O or F …
Aug 8, 2020 · F---H---F is stronger. This is an example of hydrogen bonding. More the partial charges generated on each atom better the interaction. The hydrogen bond is an effect. The cause is the high …
Which has stronger hydrogen bonds: water or ice?
May 6, 2018 · So, finally, I feel we have said enough to explain why the knowledge that a shrinking O−O O O distance and widening HOH H O H angle tells us that ice has stronger hydrogen bonds than …
Why does the hydroxide ion have a negative charge?
May 1, 2016 · In a sense, you are overthinking it. OH- has a negative charge, simply because it has a negative charge (it has one more electron than it has protons). There could also be an OH molecule …
