MOLECULAR SHAPES

What is the shape of this gerber daisy? Looks two-dimensional but in reality it is three-dimensional.

Electron Dot Structure (Lewis Structure) Structural Formula Molecular Shape What is the shape of a molecule of methane? Methane is also three-dimensional. A Molecule of Methane

Molecules have three-dimensional shapes. There are many different molecular shapes possible. How can we determine what shape a particular molecule will have?

VSEPR Theory (Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion) VSEPR theory states that repulsion between the pairs of valence-electrons surrounding an atom causes these electron pairs to be oriented as far apart as possible. HH

Linear Cl H Diatomic molecules are always linear.

Linear BeF 2 No unshared pairs Two shared pairs of electrons around a central atom (no unshared pairs)

Trigonal-planar BF 3 No unshared pairs Three shared pairs of electrons around a central atom (no unshared pairs)

Tetrahedral CH 4 No unshared pairs Four shared pairs of electrons around a central atom (no unshared pairs)
