Question

Bond angle and molecular structure shape of propane? (C3H8)
@surry99

Answer 1

All carbon-atoms are sp3 hybridized. That makes a tetrahedral shape with carbon as the center.

Answer 2

Is there a difference between a tetrahedral shape and a bent triatomic shape?
@ParthKohli

Answer 3

yes a perfect tetrahdron would have bond angles of 109.5.
Water for example (bent triatomic) has angles of 104.5 degrees.
If you draw the Lewis dot structure for water I can explain to you why it is different

Answer 4

??

Answer 5

ok, now check the total number of valence electrons...are you missing some?

Answer 6

remember it is H2O not HO2

Answer 7

hydrogen has 1 valence electron, and oxygen has 6 each

Answer 8

oops, sorry
