12. Molecular Shapes & Valence Bond Theory

Determine the bond angle for the thiocyanate ion, SCN^–.

 In the PCl­₃F₂ molecule the chlorine atoms exist in the equatorial positions and the fluorine atoms exist in the axial positions. Based on this information, predict the Cl–P­–Cl bond angle.

Determine the O–N–O bond angle for N_­2O₄, which exists as O₂N–N­O_­2.
