Chapter 2, Problem 2.70P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bond angle between two hydrogen bonds in the given structure is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Each water molecule contains two hydrogen donors and two lone pairs on oxygen. Each water molecule can form two hydrogen bonds involving their hydrogen atom plus two further bonds, utilizing the hydrogen atoms attached to the neighboring water molecules. Each lone pair of electron on the oxygen atom can participate in having one hydrogen bond. According to VSEPR theory, the electron geometry for an atom with two bonds and two lone pairs of electrons is tetrahedral with a bond angle around 109.5 degrees. The bond angles between the two hydrogen bonds must also be around 109.5 degrees since it does not disturb the geometry.
