FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Molecular Geometry?
Back
Molecular Geometry refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule, which influences its physical and chemical properties.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a lone pair in molecular geometry?
Back
A lone pair is a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and are not involved in bonding.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the presence of lone pairs affect molecular shape?
Back
Lone pairs occupy space and can repel bonding pairs of electrons, altering the molecular shape compared to a molecule with only bonding pairs.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the VSEPR theory?
Back
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used to predict the geometry of individual molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What molecular shape is formed by 2 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair?
Back
The molecular shape is Trigonal Pyramidal.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the molecular shape of a molecule with 4 bonding pairs and no lone pairs?
Back
The molecular shape is Tetrahedral.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the central atom in a molecule?
Back
The central atom is the atom in a molecule that is bonded to other atoms and typically has the highest valence.
