The VSEPR Theory of Molecular Geometry

"I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top." --- English Professor, Ohio University

• Introduction to VSEPR
• Overview of Three to Six Electron Domains (Useful to print for examination during lab VSEPR exercises.  Use this page as a guide to understand VSEPR, electron arrangement, molecular geometry, orbital hybridization, and predictions of polarity.)
• Three Electron Domains: Trigonal Planar and Angular
• Four Electron Domains: Tetrahedral, Trigonal Pyramidal and Angular
• Five Electron Domains: Trigonal Bipyramidal, Disphenoidal (Teeter-totter), T-shaped, and Linear
• Six Electron Domains: Octahedral, Square Pyramidal, and Square Planar
• VSEPR of Resonance, Double and Triple Bonds
• Odd Electron Molecules
• VSEPR with 7, 8, and 9 Electron Domains
• Writing Lewis Structures (Excellent visual guide to drawing Lewis Dot Structures)
