Molecular Geometry Candice Finch Jan Spaulding Emily Markovitz

2 Gumdrops and Toothpicks
Create 5 molecular structures 3 atoms, 4 atoms, 5 atoms, 6 atoms, 7 atoms Toothpicks=bonds Gumdrops=atoms Must have one gumdrop in the middle

4 Introduction A A A A A Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR)
Theory used to predict and explain the shapes of covalently-bound molecules. A A A A A

5 Which shape matches your molecule with 3 atoms?
Triangle Line Tetrahedron Octahedron Triangular Bipyramidal

6 3 Atom Group Questions What are the angles between the bonds?
What geometric shape does this molecular structure resemble and what is the angle for that particular geometric shape?

7 Bonding vs. Nonbonding Electron Pairs
