FAQ
What is a Bond angles chart?
The bond angles chart contains data for each VSEPR notation. Using this data, we can predict the ideal bond angle for a molecule. For instance, let’s say the VSEPR notation is AX2E2 –
According to Bond angles chart data –
For AX2E2, the bond pair (X) is 2, and the lone pair (E) is also 2.
The electron geometry is tetrahedral and the shape is bent.
The predicted ideal bond angle for AX2E2 is <109.5º (104.5º).
What does VSEPR notation represent in the Bond angles chart?
The VSEPR notation in the bond angles chart is denoted as the AXE formula where A represents the central atom, X denotes the number of bonded atoms to the central atom, and E represents the number of lone pairs on the central atom.
