Give bond angles in `H_(2)O, CH_(4) and SF_(6)` molecules.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the bond angles in the molecules H₂O (water), CH₄ (methane), and SF₆ (sulfur hexafluoride), we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze H₂O (Water) 1. **Count Valence Electrons**: Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and each hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron. Therefore, for H₂O: - Total valence electrons = 6 (O) + 1 (H) + 1 (H) = 8 electrons. 2. **Determine Hybridization**: - Use the formula: (Number of valence electrons on central atom + Number of monovalent atoms) / 2. ...
