bond angle and bond strength

[305117729]

will the bond strength affect the bond angle in a molecule? do molecules like CF4 and CF2Cl2 have the same bond angle? if not how are the bond angles changed?

[megansardina2G]

Bond angles shouldn't be affected by differing bond strength. For example, a double bond between two atoms is stronger than a single bond, but this won't matter in regards to bond angles and shape. Hope this helps!

[Milena Aragon 2B]

Since single, double, and triple bonds are all just considered one region of electron density (for the VSEPR model), they do not differ in bond angles; as long as the shape remains the same, so should the angle.

[Alma Carrera 3C]

Since all bonds are treated equivalently, they type of bond (whether its a single, double, triple) wouldn't affect its shape.

[Timothy_Yueh_4L]

As mentioned previously, bond length will have no effect on bond angle rather it's the types of bond present that affect shape and angle. As a rule of thumb, repulsion strength follows as Lone lone pair > lone bonding pair > bonding bonding pair, with the greater the repulsion strength giving the greater the angle.
