Molecular Geometry Module: Gateway Page

An introduction to the language and representations that chemists use to describe the geometry of molecules.

Use VSEPR Theory to determine the electron pair and molecular geometries of molecules, including application of these methods to molecules with more than one central atom.

Do you know the names of different molecular shapes? Can you predict the electron pair geometry of moelcules? Do you know how to predict the molecular geometries of both small and larger molecules? Find out for yourself using this self-evaluation tool.
