Molecular Geometry and VSEPR Theory
Directions: Read section 6.5 in your textbook, and then answer the following questions:
1. What is the major assumption of the VSEPR theory, which is used to predict the
shape of atoms?
2. In water, two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Why isn’t water a
linear molecule?
3. What two factors determine whether or not a molecule is polar?
4. Fill in the table below.
Formula
Lewis Structure
Shape
(Geometry)
Bond Angles
CO2
I2
CF4
NH3
H2O
ONCl
5. Which molecules listed in the table above would you expect to be polar?
