Topics

    • Molecular Geometry
    • Bonds
    • VSEPR (Valence shell electron pair repulsion)
    • Bond angle
    • Molecules

Learning Goals

    • Recognize that molecule shape is due to repulsions between atoms.
    • Recognize that bonds are not fixed in place, but can rotate around in response to repulsions.
