9.2 a) 120 b) If the blue balloon expands, the angle between red and green balloons decreases. c) Nonbonding (lone) electron pairs exert greater repulsive forces than bonding pairs, resulting in compression of adjacent bond angles.
9.12
a) Both molecules would be symmetrical because all four surrounding atoms are the same. In a symmetrical tetrahedron, the four bond angles are equal to each other, with values of 109.5°. The H-C-H angles in CH4 and the O-Cl-O angles in ClO4- will have values close to 109.5°. b) Two
1) The H-N-H angle
2) The N-H distance
In a trigonal pyramidal molecule, there are three bonding and one nonbonding electron domains. Since a nonbonding electron domain takes up more space (higher repulsion) it compresses bond angles, the H-N-H angles will be smaller than 109.5°.
The bond angle must be specified.

N does not sit in the plane of the H atoms. The distance of N out of the plane is determined by the N-H distances, as well as the H-N-H angles. The N-H distance must also be specified.
9.20
a) I can confidently predict the bond angles for H2S to be 180° because H2S electron domain geometry is linear with two bonding domains and zero non bonding domain. b) I can confidently predict the bond angles for BCl3 to 120° because I know BCl3 has three electron domains, all of them being bonding domain giving it a trigonal planar molecular geometry. c) I can confidently predict the bond angles for CH3I to be 109.5 because CH3I molecular geometry is tetrahedral because it has four electron domains that are all bonding domains. d) I can confidently predict the bond angles of CBr4 to be 109.5 because CBr4 molecular geometry is tetrahedral, it has four electron domains that are all bonding domains e) I’m a bit uncertain about the bond angles of TeBr4 because Te has five electron domain around it, four from the Te—Br bonds and one nonbonding pair. Since nonbonding pairs take up more space and compress the other bond

    This article concerns about 2 polymorph structures that is associated with temperature-induced structural transitions. One of the structure being studied is the orthorhombic structure, or sometimes referred to as the calcium chloride structure, that is observed before the transition. It has a space group of Pnnm and it is observed in halides – CaCl2, CaBr2, CrCl2, under ambient conditions. The space group diagram is shown in Figure 1 where we can see that it is a primitive cell with 4 mirror lines within the unit cell in 2-D (2 horizontal and 2 vertical). There is 1 unique mirror plane. Also, there are 4 double glide planes (dashed/dotted lines: 2 horizontal and 2 vertical) by which there are a total of 2 unique glide planes. In a double glide plane, there is vertical and horizontal translation and a periodic repeat of the basis to produce a chiral pair. In addition, it has 2 fold rotation points (diad) at the corners, centre and at the middle along the sides. The 2 fold rotation points are also centres of inversion. The second structure being studied is the tetragonal rutile structure that is commonly found in metal dioxides and dihalides. With analysis of the tetragonal rutile, there are 2 possibilities that the basis atoms (octahedrons) can be arranged in 3-D space. One of the P42/mnm occurs with the origin at mmm and 42/m at 1/4,0,0. In this case, there are 2 unique mirror lines that runs diagonally across the plane cell. The dashed lines represents a glide line in the unit cell where there is reflection and translation of objects. Roto-inversion twofold screw axis with centre of symmetry is found at the centre and corners of the unit cell. Fourfold screw axis with inversion centres are observed to be at the middle of the cell…
