The bond between carbon and hydrogen is one of the most important typesof bonds in chemistry. The length of an H¬C bond is approximately 1.1 Å.Based on this distance and differences in electronegativity, do you expect thedipole moment of an individual H¬C bond to be larger or smaller than that ofan H¬I bond?
Electrons in bonds are negatively charged and therefore repel each other. If you had a molecule of formula AB 2 , with A being the central atom, what would you predict the 3D shape to be to allow maximum distance between the two B atoms bonded to A?
What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between Si and H in silane, SiH4?
