IT'S ALL IN THE SHAPE: Covalent Bonding and Molecular Geometry This activity explores covalent bonding and how interactions among electron pairs affect the geometry of a molecule. (This lab is developed for distance leaming. Therefore, please follow the directions as it explains before you complete the post lab questions) PRE-LAB QUERIES Some Preliminary Information Gathering Before we can uncover the molecular geometry of a molecule we need to gather information about the composition and covalent bonding in the molecule. Useful information will be the Lewis dot structure (or diagram) and a structural formula. The Lewis dot structure shows the arrangement of electrons around a central atom and the atoms attached it. The structural formula supplies the same information but uses lines to represent pairs of bonded electrons. Here are two examples of molecules with Lewis dot structures and the structural formulas.

Why is this theory successful? Can you name some of the limitations of the theory? Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. to determine the shape of the molecule or ion to determine the formulas of ionic compounds Lewis theory allows us to account for the paramagnetism of some species (e.g. oxygen) to determine how the bonds in the molecules and ions form to predict what molecules or ions will be stable, which will be more reactive, and which will not exist to account for the low melting points and boiling points of molecular compounds compared to ionic compounds Lewis theory does not allow us Reset Help

Which statement A-D about VSEPR theory is not correct? Select one: a. The molecular shape or geometry can differ from the electron-pair geometry. b. In VSEPR theory, the shape or geometry of a molecule is determined by electron-electron repulsion. c. The steric number of a central atom is the sum of the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs around the central atom. d. The steric number has five values from 2 to 6. e. Statements A-D are all correct. Clear my choice
