VSEPR shapes (exclusive)

Question 1

What does VSEPR stand for?
(meh)

Answer 1

V:alence
S:hell
E:lectron
P:air
R:epulsion

Question 2

How to tell if atom is a lone pair?
(meh)

Answer 2

Shares electrons and has extra electrons

Question 2

How to tell if atom is bonding pair?
(meh)

Answer 2

Wants to gain electrons

Question 3

What are the 6 shapes ya learn for the molecules?

(after 2, then it starts going up by 1)

(meehhh)

Answer 3

1. Linear
2. Bent
3. Trigonal planar
4. Tetrahedral
5. Trigonal bipyramidal
6. Octahedral

Question 4

What are the 2 shapes bonded with 2 other molecules?
(give me the degrees for the other)

Answer 4

1. Linear (straight)
2. Bent (104.5° apart)

Question 5

What’s the shape connected to 3 other molecules?
(give me degrees)

Answer 5

3. Trigonal planar (120° apart)

Question 6

What’s the shape connected to 4 other molecules?
(give me the degrees)

Answer 6

4. Tetrahedral (109.5° apart)

Question 7

What’s the shape connected to 5 other molecules?

Answer 7

5. Trigonal bipyramidal

Question 8

What’s the shape connected to 6 other molecules?

Answer 8

6. Octahedral

Question 9

How to tell if there’s a bend in the shape of the molecule?
(duh)

Answer 9

Based on repulsion strength
Based on n° of lone/bonding pairs

Question 10

Which has the strongest repulsion strength?

Answer 10

LP:LP

Question 11

Which has the weakest repulsion strength?

Answer 11

BP:BP

Question 12

Which has the balanced repulsion strength?
(or something)

Answer 12

LP:BP

Question 13

How to even answer the VSEPR question anyways?

(Well….)

Answer 13

1. Gain electrons of each element
2. Draw the covalent bond
3. State what pairs are seen
4. State the shape and why (for the degrees one thats the LP included)

Additionally, if u needa compare, compare their shapes and pairs ig?

Question 14

Remember that bond angle changes based on LP being present and if that pair has a lot of electrons

(press space for examples)

Answer 14

Preciate it :D

NH3 = 3 Bps & 1 Lp
Causes trigonal pyramidal , 109 degrees on one of em

H2O = 2 Bps & 1 Lp
Well ye ofc it’s bent uhhh idk where i was going with this but the top one is important okay?
