Molecular Geometry
This worksheet has students incorporate what they've learned from writing Lewis Dot structures and using the chemistry model kits to begin drawing accurate geometric representations of covalent compounds on their own. They are first given a table of the different geometric shapes and asked to fill in the number of unshared electron pairs and chemical bonds. They then use that information to practice writing geometrically correct structures on their own.
Essential concepts: VSEPR, molecular geometry, linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, Lewis dot structures.
