The molecule with three bonded atoms and no lone pairs around the central atom has a Trigonal planar shape due to the 120-degree bond angles.
A Covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, forming a molecule.
The presence of four bonded groups and one lone pair leads to a Seesaw molecular geometry due to electron pair geometry adjustments.
Solubility in water is a characteristic property of polar molecules, as they can interact with water molecules due to their polarity.
Hydrogen bonding is the intermolecular force present in ammonia due to its N-H bonds.
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to have eight electrons in their outer electron shell, achieving a stable configuration.
CH4 (methane) has a tetrahedral electron domain geometry as it involves four bonding domains forming 109.5-degree bond angles.
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms in a bond determines the bond's polarity, with higher differences leading to polar bonds.
Carbon can form multiple bonds such as double and triple bonds due to its ability to hybridize and complete its octet.
London dispersion forces are stronger in large, heavy molecules due to the greater polarizability of their electron clouds.
