MOLECULAR GEOMETRY
Objective :
1. To determine the geometry of molecule.
2. To build 3 dimension model for molecule
Introduction :
Lewis structure provides a structure of atom together with the electron valence. It can be used to
get the actual geometry structure for certain molecule or ion. The valence shell electron pair
repulsion model (VSEPR model) is important in order to determine the structure of actual
geometry structure. This model is based on the idea that groups of electron repels each other and
will allocate themselves as far away from each other as possible within a molecule. An electron
domain is a region in space where electrons can be found.
According to VSEPR theory, the shape of molecule is determined by the tendency of electron
domains to keep as far away from each other as possible. To predict the shape of molecule or ion,
we need to know how many sets of electron pairs surround the central atom. The sets of electron
pairs include the amount of lone pair electron and the amount of bonding electron for central
atom. The sets of electron pairs will arranged themselves to minimize the repulsive forces within
the molecule. The actual geometry molecule is based on the position of terminal atom that binds
to central atom. The lone pair electron will only influence the bond angle.
