I removed the models because at least some had incorrect geometry, even to the naked eye, and were used in a table adjacent to diagrams that had specific geometric data. Unlike the HX, where all we have is a single distance and even most brain-dead modelling programs probably have this specific parameter, here we have angles that apparently do not get modelled correctly. Using high quality and pretty pictures makes them seem even more believable, directly contradicting
WP:V of their actual content. And it seems like it's overkill...they're all pretty much the same, excepting a couple of pm and a few degrees. I would support including a 3D of water as the LEDE thumb--a pretty, simple, and lay-recognizeable idea--as it helps hook this technical-sounding article for less specialized readers. I have no objection to including one such image for each series (water for H2X, hydrogen peroxide for the H2X2 section, etc.)

For consistency purposes (for both the other hydride articles and the page on the Russian wiki) I've readded some of the space-filling models. If any are inaccurate I'll go ahead and remove them. -

This section appears to be a bit worthless. I would be in favor of deleting it as it is 1) rather lame, 2) not exactly correct (hydrogen peroxide aids in oxidations by giving up extra oxygen??).

This webpage contains the text that is copied to the

Text and/or other creative content from
Hydrogen chalcogenide was copied or moved into

Is anyone able to shed some light on the discrapancy, at least for me, between a pKa of 13.995 in the first table (the one with the space filling models) and a value of Ka in the second table 1.8 x 10-16, which would lead to 15.7 and a tiny bit as pKa for water?
