Which species has the smaller bond angle, H3O+ or H2O? Explain.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the molecular geometry of each species: H2O is bent, and H3O+ is trigonal pyramidal.
Consider the number of lone pairs on the central atom: H2O has two lone pairs, while H3O+ has one lone pair.
Recall that lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs, affecting bond angles.
Understand that more lone pairs result in smaller bond angles due to increased repulsion.
Conclude that H2O, with more lone pairs, has a smaller bond angle compared to H3O+.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Molecular Geometry

Molecular geometry refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule. It is determined by the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom, which influence the shape and angles between bonds. Understanding molecular geometry is crucial for predicting bond angles and the overall structure of molecules.

VSEPR Theory

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used to predict the geometry of individual molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs. According to VSEPR, electron pairs will arrange themselves to minimize repulsion, which directly affects bond angles. This theory helps explain why H3O+ has a different bond angle compared to H2O.

Bond Angles

Bond angles are the angles formed between two adjacent bonds at an atom. They are influenced by the number of lone pairs and bonding pairs of electrons surrounding the atom. In the case of H3O+ and H2O, the presence of an additional hydrogen ion in H3O+ alters the bond angle compared to H2O, leading to a smaller angle due to increased electron repulsion.
