1. From electron pair geometry to molecular geometry
VSEPR part II
From electron pair geometry to molecular geometry

2. Not all electron pairs result in a bond
Lone pair electrons con tribute to the number of electron ”clouds”.
Actual bonds are what is described by the shapes of the molecules.
Make no mistake, the lone pairs are still there!

4. Molecular geometry continued
Some shapes may even be repeated.
It is important to remember the presence of the electron clouds as the electrons still play a role in the activity of the molecule.

6. 2 electron pairs: a line is a line

7. 3 electron pairs : bent

8. 4 electron pairs: tetrahedral

9. 4 electron pairs: molecular geometry

10. 5 electron pairs

11. 5 : molecular geometry

12. 6 electron pairs

13. 6 : Molecular geometry
