Geometrical angle

Geometrical Arrangements To arrange appropriate and/or optimal conditions for secondary ion emmission yield, the geometrical angles will first be defined. 

Molecule Structure Angle Geometric angle a, (°) Bond path angle (°) Aa b - c (°) Strain energy (kJ/mol)... 

Bond angle. If one atom is bonded to two other atoms, the bond angle is the geometrical angle between the vectors connecting the common atom to the two other atoms. 

Fig. 3.2 In cyclopropane the ring orbitals eannot overlap end-on, even if pure p atomic orbitals were used, as shown here the interorbital angle in that best-case scenario would be 90°, while the geometric angle is 60°, a deviation of 30°. In fact, by mixing in some s character stronger bonds are obtained although the deviation from the geometric angle is then even greater in the limit of sp hybridization, the usual ease for tetraeoordinate carbon, the interorbital/geometric deviation would be 109°-60° =49°...
