Molecular Shapes VSEPR Model 9.1-9.4 Flashcards
B does not follow
the octect rule
Molecular geometry
is the general shape of a molecule, as determined by the relative positions of the atomic nuclei
electron domains
how many places are electon bonds or lone paries exsist around an atom
valence-shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model
predicts the shapes of molecules and ions by assuming that the valence shell electron pairs are arranged as far from one another as possible.
a molecule with 2 electron domains will always be
liner ,with zero non bonding domains
a molecule with 3 bonding domains and no nonbonding pairs will be
Trigonal planar,
a molecule with 3 electron domains and 1 non bonding domain
trigonal planar(ED), bent (MG)
a molecule with 4 electron domains and none non bonding domain
