Peer Review
Your peer review is complete and has been published, good work! Sshoore (talk) 18:48, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Here is what I have written: Lead: As of this peer review, no changes for the lead have been made from the original article
 * Content:
 * • The content added to the article on appears to be relevant to the topic. It discusses the bond angles in various molecules and introduces the concepts of Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory and Bent's Rule, which are pertinent to understanding the factors influencing bond angles.
 * • The content appears up-to-date, with the majority of references used being within the years 2005-2023.
 * • There doesn't seem to be content missing or content that doesn't belong in the context of bond angles.
 * • The article provides a good introduction to VSEPR theory and Bent's Rule, along with their applications in understanding and predicting bond angles.
 * Tone and Balance:
 * • The content added to the article appears to be generally neutral and informative. It presents factual information about bond angles, VSEPR theory, and Bent's Rule without displaying any obvious bias or attempting to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.
 * • The section provides an overview of both VSEPR theory and Bent's Rule, explaining how they relate to the prediction of bond angles in molecules. It outlines the principles behind each theory and discusses their applications in a straightforward and objective manner.
 * • No particular viewpoint or position is favored, and there is no evident bias in the content. Their respective strengths and weaknesses of these theories and rules are presented in a neutral way. Therefore, there is no overrepresentation or underrepresentation of viewpoints.
 * Sources and References:
 * • The bond angle table shown does not have any sources linked to it, which I believe is needed considering the knowledge in those tables is not just common knowledge, and requires a source to back it up.
 * • From what I could see from the sources linked, the information added is in line with the sources they have, and they are accurate with what the sources say. Most of the sources are current, however there are a couple sources that date back to the 1960s and 1990s.
 * • A variety of authors are chosen for their references. The majority of links lead to peer-reviewed articles and overall good sources, making their information more credible.
 * Organization:
 * • The content added to the article is generally well-written, concise, and clear. The content added is organized into three main sections: "Bond Angles", "VSEPR Theory versus Bent's Rule", and "Applications of Bent's Rule," which reflects the major points of the topic.
 * • There doesn't appear to be any significant grammatical or spelling errors in the content. The sentences are structured well, making it easy to read and understand. However, there is a minor typographical error in "choose" instead of "chose" in the second to last sentence of the article.
 * • The content is broken down into sections that logically flow from an introduction to the comparison of VSEPR theory and Bent's Rule and then to the applications of Bent's Rule. This organization helps readers navigate the information effectively.
 * Images and Media:
 * • The images added to this article were for the "Bond Angle" section, demonstrating the different types of bond angles on certain molecules. This allows the reader to better interpret bond angles with a visual component, and it definitely adds to the article's topic.
 * • The images used in the table themselves are not captioned, however the rest of the table explains what molecule is in the image and what the bond angle is.
 * • From my short research, the images do appear to adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations.
 * • The way images are placed in a table is both organized and visually appealing to the reader, and the fact that the images are animated also allows the reader to visualize the molecule from a range of different perspectives.
 * Overall Impressions:
 * • The content added to the article on "Bond angles" has improved the overall quality of the article by providing a more comprehensive explanation of the topic, including the principles of VSEPR theory and Bent's Rule and their applications. The new content enhances the understanding of bond angles and the factors influencing them.
 * • The content is written clearly and concisely, making complex scientific concepts accessible to readers who may not have a deep background in chemistry. The explanations of VSEPR theory and Bent's Rule are straightforward and easy to understand.
 * • The content is well-organized and includes specific examples, such as the mention of real-world molecules and studies that use Bent's Rule, which provides practical context to the theoretical concepts discussed.
 * • The use of citations to reference sources for the scientific information adds credibility to the content as well.
 * • To better improve the article, you may consider cross-referencing other relevant articles or sections within Wikipedia. For example, if there are articles on VSEPR theory and Bent's Rule, provide links to these articles to allow readers to explore related topics in more detail. In addition to this, some terminology used, such as "electronegativities," may not be immediately clear to readers without a background in chemistry. Providing brief explanations or links to related articles can help readers better grasp these terms. In addition to these notes, correct the spelling error of "chose" on the last sentence and provide citations for the table of bond angles, as mentioned above. Overall, very good and meaningful contributions! Sshoore (talk) 19:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
