arrangement of molecules in water

Nature of Matter..

It is smallest particle (of an element or compound), which is capable of independent existence. Molecules are formed by combination of atoms. Molecules are formed by combination of atoms If the molecule is made up of atoms of the same element it is said to be homo-atom..

In polyatomic molecules the dipole moment not only depends upon the individual dipole moments of the bonds but also on the spatial arrangement of the various bonds in the molecule. In such molecules the dipole moment of the molecule is the vector s..

An example of sharing of one pair of electrons (single bond). Two atoms of hydrogen share one pair of electrons to form a molecule of hydrogen (Fig. 3.4). ..

In a molecule having three bond pairs of electrons around its central atom, the electron pairs form an equilateral triangular arrangement around the central atom. These molecules have trigonal planar (or triangularplanar) shape and the three bond pairs are at 120C wit..

Five bond pairs orient themselves around the central atom in a trigonal bipyramidal way. A molecule having five bond pairs around its central atom has a triangular bipyramidal shape. Three bond pairs are arranged in an equatorial triangular plane and are oriented at an angle of..

In liquid water, water molecules are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Each oxygen atom can form two hydrogen bonds utilizing both the lone pairs on it. Experimental studies suggest that liquid water consists of aggregates of varying number of ..

Water is the most abundant compound in the vast majority of cells. It forms about 60 to 90% of the total chemical content of the cell. Water accounts for about 65% of the chemical composition in the human body. In a jellyfish, the water content in the body is more t..

Chlorine dissolves in water to form chlorine water. It slowly reacts with the water to form a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid is very unstable and in presence of sunlight it decomposes to give hydrochloric acid and a nascent oxy..

It is formed by the combination of two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom has one electron in 1s-orbital and, therefore, there are two electrons in hydrogen molecule. Both these electrons are to be accommodated in the lowest energy molecular orbital. According to Pauli's exclusion princip..
