Document Summary

Wedges and dashes: 3d molecules on 2d paper. By convention, the central atom is put in the plane of the paper. Put as many other atoms as possible in the same plane and indicate with a straight line. For atoms in front of the plane, use a solid wedge. For atoms behind the plane, use a hashed wedge. Lone-pair vs. lone-pair repulsion > lone-pair vs. bonding-pair repulsion > bonding-pair vs. bonding pair repulsion. Lone pairs are bigger than bonding pairs; they go where they can be furthest away from other electron pairs. Count the number of e- groups bonded to the central atom (i. e. group geometry) Count the number of lone pairs on the central atom (i. e. molecular geometry) Many molecules have larger structures with many interior atoms.
