I want to know about the "quant" value which is come with bond length and bond angle. if anybody knows please help me
Bond length refers to the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms. It is measured in picometers (pm) or angstroms (Å) and is determined by the balance between attractive and repulsive forces between the atoms.
Generally, shorter bond lengths indicate stronger bonds. This is because shorter distances between nuclei result in stronger attractive forces and a lower potential energy between the atoms. However, the type of bond and the atoms involved can also play a role in determining bond strength.
The main factors that influence bond length are the types of atoms involved, the number of shared electrons, and the presence of any lone pairs of electrons. Additionally, bond length can be affected by the molecule's environment, such as the presence of other atoms or molecules.
Bond angle refers to the angle formed between two adjacent bonds in a molecule. It is measured in degrees and is determined by the arrangement of the atoms and the number of electron pairs in the molecule's central atom.
Bond angle plays a crucial role in determining a molecule's shape. The arrangement of bonds and lone pairs around the central atom, as determined by bond angles, determines the overall shape of the molecule. For example, a molecule with four bonding pairs and no lone pairs will have a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 109.5 degrees.
