|
What is the Big Idea of Chapter 13? Molecules can be drawn using simplified models.These model can be modified in order to account for bond angles and shape
|
|
Explain VSEPR VSEPR is the idea that molecular shape is caused by electrons minimizing the repulsion between them to create a more stable molecule
|
|
What causes different molecular shapes? Electron repulsion cause different shapes
|
|
When is a molecule polar? A molecule is polar when there are some regions of the molecule have a stronger pull in the electrons
|
