What is the VSEPR theory used to predict?

• Bond Strength

• Polarity

• Molecular Shape

• Electronegativity

According to VSEPR, molecules adjust their shapes to keep which of the following as far away as possible?

• Pairs of valence electrons

• Inner shell electrons

• Mobile Electrons

• Electrons closest to the nucleus

What geometry will this molecule have?

• bent

• tetrahedral

• linear

• pyramidal

Which molecule would have this molecular geometry?

• BF₃

• CH₄

• PCl₅

• CO₂

What is the molecular shape of OCl₂?

• linear

• bent

• tetrahedral

• trigonal planar

3 atoms bonded and 0 lone pairs

• linear

• trigonal planar

• bent

• tetrahedral

• trigonal pyramidal

The only difference between trigonal planar and trigonal pyramid is that the pyramid has ​ (a)   .

• a lone pair

• dipole

• 2 lone pairs

• 4 bonding atoms

• no lone pairs

• 2 bonding atoms

Consider the molecule below.  Determine the molecular geometry at each of the 2 labeled carbons.

• C1 = tetrahedral, C2 = linear

• C1 = trigonal planar, C2 = bent

• C1 = bent, C2 = trigonal planar

• C1 = trigonal planar, C2 = tetrahedral
