Predicting Molecular Characteristics Using VSEPR Theory (10.1.4)

Question 1

• The shape of a molecule (molecular geometry) can be determined using Lewis dot structures and valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR).

Answer 1

• The shape of a molecule (molecular geometry) can be determined using Lewis dot structures and valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR).

Question 2

• The net dipole moment (polarity) of a molecule can be determined by summing the bond dipole moment vectors.

Answer 2

• The net dipole moment (polarity) of a molecule can be determined by summing the bond dipole moment vectors.
