The VSEPR model is used to determine molecular shape.

2. Write a paragraph that includes all of the terms above.

3. Section 9-4
VSEPR Model
The shape of a molecule determines many of its physical and chemical properties.
Molecular geometry (shape) can be determined with the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model, or VSEPR model which minimizes the repulsion of shared and unshared atoms around the central atom.

4. Electron pairs repel each other and cause molecules to be in fixed positions relative to each other.
Unshared electron pairs also determine the shape of a molecule.
Electron pairs are located in a molecule as far apart as they can be.

5. Hybridization is a process in which atomic orbitals mix and form new, identical hybrid orbitals.
Carbon often undergoes hybridization, which forms an sp3 orbital formed from one s orbital and three p orbitals. Lone pairs also occupy hybrid orbitals.

6. Single, double, and triple bonds occupy only one hybrid orbital (CO2 with two double bonds forms an sp hybrid orbital).
