Hey Gerard,

wikipedia might tell you how to angle for fishes, but I fear it falls short of teaching you how to fish for angels.

Can you explain the define of the bond length and bond angel--especially
bond angel--here?

i leave the definition of angels (be they ideal or not) to clerics, but if you want to find out about bonds and angles, AND YOUR SUPERVISOR IS REALLY UNABLE OR TOO BUSY TO EXPLAIN THESE BASIC CONCEPTS TO YOU, why not use google (www.google.com), wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), etc. (and perhaps consider getting a better supervisor)? e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

for more links to basic info, see http://xray.bmc.uu.se/gerard/embo2001/modval/03.html under "Refresher"

reading books or reviews (e.g. http://xray.bmc.uu.se/cgi-bin/gerard/reprint_mailer.pl?pref=56) and using those to retrieve original references (such as engh & huber) also helps

(rhetorical question of the day: just like teaching a person how to fish is better than to give them a fish, isn't providing the url to google or wikipedia better than providing an answer to a basic question?)
