Visualizing Molecular Geometry With 3D Software

The video tutorial explores the use of ChemDoodle 3D software to visualize molecular geometries and bond angles, building on VSEPR theory. It covers methane, ammonia, and water geometries, highlighting the impact of lone pairs on bond angles. Advanced geometries like PCl5, SF4, and ClF3 are discussed, along with octahedral geometries such as SF6, BrF5, and XeF4. The tutorial concludes with a recommendation for ChemDoodle software.
