Bond Angles

Bond angles are the angles formed between two chemical bonds that join three atoms together. They are an important tool in predicting the shapes of molecules, which determine how the molecules will interact with one another and the environment. Bond angles are useful for understanding the reactivity of molecules, as well as for guiding the design of new materials. Bond angles can also be used to identify and predict types of intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding, that will affect the properties of the material.
