âSorry for the paucity of posts over the past few days but I'm in a state of upheaval known as âjob changeâ.â âThere is no scheme in all these projects to solve the paucity of clean, safe drinking water.â âThe paucity of these qualities in the present Republic would stagger them.â
Benzene is the archetypical aromatic compound. It is planar, bond angles=120Âº, all carbon atoms in the ring are sp2 hybridized, and the pi-orbitals are occupied by 6 electrons. The aromatic heterocycle pyridine is similar to benzene, and is often used as a weak base for scavenging protons.
So in electron geometry the bond angle in NH3 molecule is not typical that of tetrahedral bond angle but the value is reduced to 107o. In water molecule, this tetrahedral bond angle is reduced further as the central atom oxygen contains 2 lone pairs of electrons.
