About this resource...

Explore molecule shapes by building molecules in 3D! How does molecule shape change with different numbers of bonds and electron pairs? Find out by adding single, double or triple bonds and lone pairs to the central atom. Then, compare the model to real molecules!

Objetivos de Aprendizaje

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
