This module is concerned with predicting the shape of a molecule in which two or more atoms are bonded to a central atom from the formula of the compound.
Examples are restricted to those
On completion of the module you should be able to
Examples are restricted to those
- with no more than four electron pair domains at the central atom.
- which have hydrogen, nitrogen or oxygen as the outer atoms
- which have a multiple bond between the central and one of the outer atoms
On completion of the module you should be able to
- draw the the Lewis structure of a molecule of type EXn which fits the restrictions given above and use this to predict the shape of the molecule.
