How do you find bond angles?
1 Answer
- Write the Lewis dot structure for the molecule. Assume that you must determine the bond angles in BF3 .
- Use the steric number and VSEPR theory to determine the electron domain geometry of the molecule.
- Use the VSEPR shape to determine the angles between the electron domains.
What is the bond angle of CH2Cl2?

Can nitrogen form 4 bonds?
If you look at the above image you can see that when nitrogen has a positive charge (one less electron), it can form four covalent bonds. Either with single, double, or triple bonds. It is similar to phosphorus in this regard because they both have five valence electrons (four when they have a positive charge).
Is carbon dioxide a covalent bond?
Example of covalent bonding – carbon dioxide.
Why does nitrogen only form 3 bonds?
Nitrogen has five valence electrons, so it needs three more valence electrons to complete its octet. A nitrogen atom can fill its octet by sharing three electrons with another nitrogen atom, forming three covalent bonds, a so-called triple bond.
Why nitrogen can form only 4 bonds?
Because nitrogen have 5 valence electrons it wants 3 electrons to fulfill the octet rule so it form three bonds. No, as its outer most shell contains 2s ,2px,2py & 2pz …. 4 orbitals so it can form maximum 4 bonds.
Why nitrogen can form 5 bonds?
Nitrogen needs 5 unpaired electrons to form 5 covalent bonds, but there are only 4 orbitals ( one s and three p) in its valence shell so there has to be a pair of electrons in one of the orbitals giving only 3 unpaired electrons.
