    OmG!! I'm reviewing my chemistry from years ago and it's sad how much I forgot ... but I kept getting stuck on why the shape of water is wedged but not something like CO2. People kept saying the EN and atom size etc ... which sort of made sense but I knew I was missing something. Then boom!! Lone pairs taking up space!!! It's so friggin simple!! Thank you!

    One question came to mind after showing the unbounded electrons, then the positive charge of the oxygen nucleus in the same area: why doesn't the unbounded electrons cancel this positive charge? Is it because the electrons are mobile, and will migrate away? What happens to the unbounded electrons orbital?

    • @elecnix
      @elecnix 3 года назад +1

      Watching again, I may have been confused by the colors, reversing their meaning. Red is more negative, and blue is less negative. Therefore, the unbounded electrons are in the negative area.

    But if we follows the rule that opposite charge attracts, then won't the partially positive Hydrogens come closer to the lone pair instead of moving away?

    • @markauyoung4519
      @markauyoung4519 2 года назад

      If I am understanding this correctly, the hydrogen has already been stabilized by the bond from oxygen therefore it is not “positive” at that point. The predominant charges there would be the two pairs of negative electron which repel each other forcing the two hydrogen bonds apart.

    But if positive and negative charges atract, why don't the positive hydrogens want to migrate towards the unbonded electron pairs that cause the tetrahedral structure of the molecule?

    sir i have a quetion.(not related to this topic), in lewis dot structure of NO(nitrogen monoxide), can O donate its one electron to N (after forming double bond and N having 7 electrons in valance shell)in order to complete the valance electrons of N. I recently saw your octet rule exception video and this came in my mind. Please reply

    • @wbreslyn
      @wbreslyn  3 года назад

      NO is an interesting compound. Often it is described as having a three electron bond: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide#/media/File:Nitric_oxide.svg .

    thankyou but if the two hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides doesnt that cancel out the effect of the negative charge and cause the molecule to be nonpolar

    Sir, I still have a question so when the water had a bond angle of 180° instead of 105° what is it?? Is it a polar or a nonpolar molecule?

    • @wbreslyn
      @wbreslyn  2 года назад +1

      Since water has two lone pairs and two atoms it won't be 180 degrees. Something like CO2 has a different molecular geometry and is non-polar (see ruclips.net/video/SnBH-yy4Tkc/видео.html).

  • @russell6011
    @russell6011 Год назад

    You still didnt answer the question as to why the water molecule is polarized due to the magnetic attraction and repulsion of the electron placement and the proton placement. When you showed the example of a nucleus with two e- bonds, the e- were 180 deg apart because the negative repulsion of the e- to the other e- is felt equally. So why does the P+ of the hydrogens bonding to the Oxygen not place the Hydrogens 180 deg away from each other if there are (2) e- pairs and (2) hydrogen bonds? 360deg divided by 2 equal forces of (+) and (-) of (2) electron pairs and (2) protons from the Hydrogens, each repelling force would be at its' maximum arc distance from its repellent charge. IE: The (2) electron bonds would be at N and S of the Oxygen and the (2) Hydrogen bonds would be at E and W of the Oxygen. Since the Oxygen has a stronger force to attract the e- to it, then the center would be more (-) and the outer would be more (+), but it the charges would still be in balance with no polarity of the water molecule. What is the reason for this unbalanced distribution of charge because these charges should be at 90 degs of each other and 180 degrees from their same charge, but they're not. The (+) charges are 104.45deg away from each other, not 180deg for a balancing of the magnetic forces.
