- Depending on the protein under study, the bond angle of a drug molecule can become critical to successfully deactivating a viral protein. For this reason, chemists are frequently concerned with the 3D shape of their molecules and their bond angles. The oxygen atom shown in the structure has a tetrahedral electronic geometry, meaning we would predict that it would have 109.5° bond angles. However, the actual structure, the bond angles are smaller than 109.5°. Explain why this compression occurs. Make sure to discuss what’s happening around/what groups are present around the oxygen atom.arrow_forwardA model for NH3 is shown in the chem3D window.
