3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is an electron domain?
Think about the types of bonds and lone pairs.
What does VSEPR stand for?
Focus on the roles of electrons in determining molecular shape.
What does VSEPR theory help determine?
Think about the main purpose of the theory.
True or False: Lone pairs do not affect molecular geometry.
Consider the effects of lone pairs on shape.
Predict the molecular geometry of a hypothetical compound XY₂, where X has one lone pair, and Y is a more electronegative atom. Provide explanation and the expected bond angles.
Think about the nature of lone pairs and bonding pairs.
For a molecule with four bonding pairs and no lone pairs, sketch its Lewis structure and describe its molecular geometry.
Use the VSEPR theory guide for bond arrangements.
