Chapter 7: Q116E (page 406)
Use the Molecule Shape simulator (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16MolecShape) to explore real molecules. On the Real Molecules tab, select 鈥渕odel鈥 mode and S2O. What is the model bond angle? Explain whether the 鈥渞eal鈥 bond angle should be larger or smaller than the ideal model angle.
Short Answer
The model angle is\({120^\circ }\), as expected for a trigonal planar electron-group shape.
