Document Summary
Chma10 - chapter 10: chemical bonding ii molecular shape, Geometric figures: are ways to describe the shape of a molecule: corners: indicate the position of the surrounding atoms around a central atom in the center of the geometric figure, bond angles: It predicts that there are regions of electrons in an atom. Bonding pair: is a region where there are shared pairs of valance electrons between bonding nuclei. Lone pair: is a region where there are unshared electrons on a single nuclei. The regions of electron groups should repel each other since they are all negatively charged. Valance shell electron pair repulsion theory: is when the electron groups around the central atom are the most stable when they are as far apart as possible. There are 5 arrangements of electron groups around a central atom (based on a maximum of 6 bonding electron groups).
