Document Summary

Remove one arm from the electron pair arrangement for each long pair present. Lone pairs are slightly stronger than boned pairs. 2 lone pairs in h20 are pulling and therefore the angle would be a little smaller than. 3 lone pair-bond pair 90 degrees angles in 2nd model. 2 lone pair-bond pair 90 degrees angles in 3rd model. 3rd configuration is favored because it has less repulsion. All of lone pair areas always go around equator to avoid 90 degrees lone to lone pair. Do not have to worry about axis or equator because all 6 positions are equal. Straight line is a bond in the plain of the page. A solid wedge is coming out of the page towards us. Shaded wedge is going back into the page. Any bond between two different atoms will be polar. A molecule has a permanent dipole moment if it contains polar bonds and it is not a symmetrical shape.
