5) each carbon atom. Subane C8H8 (s) is a cubic-shaped hydrocarbon with a carbon atom at each corner of the cube. H ecular Cubane is very unstable. Some researchers have been seriously injured when crystals of the compound exploded while being scooped out of a bottle. Not surprisingly, cubane has been the subject of some research as an explosive. a. According to the VSEPR theory, what should be the shape around each carbon atom? What bond angle is associated with this shape? b. If you assume an ideal cubic shape, what are the actual bond angles around each carbon? c. Explain how your answers to questions 5a and 5b suggest why this molecule is so unstable.

Bond Parameters

Many factors decide the covalent bonding between atoms. Some of the bond parameters are bond angle, bond order, enthalpy, bond length, etc. These parameters decide what kind of bond will form in atoms. Hence it is crucial to understand these parameters in detail and understand how changing these parameters affects the kind of bonding or various characteristics.

Bond Dissociation Energy

The tendency of an atom to attract an electron is known as its electronegativity.
