Topics
-
- VSEPR (Valence shell electron pair repulsion)
- Lone Pairs
- Bonds
- Bond angle
- Molecules
- Molecular Geometry
- Electron Geometry
Learning Goals
-
- Recognize that molecule geometry is due to repulsions between electron groups.
- Recognize the difference between electron and molecular geometry.
- Name molecule and electron geometries for molecules with up to six electron groups surrounding a central atom.
- Compare bond angle predictions from the VSEPR-based model to real molecules.
- Describe how lone pairs affect bond angles in real molecules.
