1
Shapes of Molecules Determined by number of valence electrons of the central atom 3-D shape a result of bonded pairs and lone pairs of electrons Use VSEPR theory (valence-shell-electron-pair repulsion 1
2
What is VSEPR Theory Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory- This just means that electrons will adjust themselves as far away from each other as possible. Non-bonded electrons (unshared) have more of a repulsion. 2
3
Using the VSEPR Model 1. Identify the central atom ***NEVER HYDROGEN*** This is a terminal atom. Usually it is the first element in the compound. 2. Draw the electron-dot structure 3. Count the total number of electron pairs around central atom 4. Predict the shape of the molecule using the bonding atoms 3
4
Shapes of Molecules Number of bonded atoms 2 Name of shape linear There are NO unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom
