Question

View the lecture recordings before completing this exercise. LAB EXERCISE - MODEL KEY: Pink ball-central atom. White ball - Terminal atom Yellow ball - Nonbonding electron pair/lone pair electrons. View the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Simulation in the Main Content Area on Blackboard. The simulations show how these molecules exist in reality to minimize electronic repulsion. Add bonds and nonbonding electron pairs to visualize various Electron Shapes/Electron Pair Arrangements (EPA) and Molecular Geometries/Shapes. The five EPAs you should get are: . Linear • Trigonal Planar • Tetrahedral • Trigonal Bipyramid • Octahedral In some cases, the EPA will be the same as molecular geometry/shape. For cases with nonbonding electron pairs on the central atom, the shape/geometry is normally different from the EPA. After viewing all the possibilities for EPA and molecular geometry on Blackboard, complete the table below for this week's lab exercise. Realize that you can rotate the structures for better visualization. Be sure not to miss any atom in any of the structures provided.
