Geometry of Sodium Salts
« on: October 21, 2007, 04:53:41 PM »
I need some help determining geometries of Sodium thiosulfate, Sodium Sulfate and Sodium Sulfite.  I don't understand how the sodiums change the geometry, or if they do at all.  I know that Sodium thiosulfate is tetrahedral but why???  Doesn't the outer sulfur atom and the pi bonds affect the geometry??

are you talking about the geometry of the anions in solution or of the geometry of the crystal?
