The Lewis structure of formaldehyde, CH2O, is shown. Use VSEPR model to predict the molecular geometry
and the H–C–H bond angle. Outline your reasoning.
There are three electron groups around the central atom, carbon. These are a double bond and two single bonds.
The molecule is thus of the AB3 type, and its geometry will be trigonal planar. The H–C–H bond angle is
slightly less than 120 due to the greater electron-pair repulsion that the C=O double bond (possessing two
electron pairs) has on each of the C–H single bonds (possessing only one electron pair each).
