Bond Angles Between the Same shape
Will the bond angles be the same for all bent VESPR shapes or does electron affinity or density play a role on the bond angle?

Re: Bond Angles Between the Same shape
I think bond angles are the same for molecules of the same shape (at least the ones we've learned about so far)

Re: Bond Angles Between the Same shape
I think whenever theres a lone pair, it repels the other atoms away more than the repulsion between atoms. So, if there is a lone pair it will bring the two atoms closer together making it slightly less than a normal bent angle. Hope that answered your question.

Re: Bond Angles Between the Same shape
Bond Angles are always the same when the shapes are identical in structure.

Re: Bond Angles Between the Same shape
I believe they should be the same as long as you maximize the space when placing the bonds around the central atom.
Re: Bond Angles Between the Same shape
Yes, I think the bond angles would be the same since all the shape are identical.

Re: Bond Angles Between the Same shape
if the shapes are identical then there should be no difference in the angles :)
