Part b: Molecular Geometry In this experiment you will apply valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) to predict molecular geometry. Afterwards, you will construct three-dimensional molecular models, using small, pronged atoms and flexible bonds (included in the kits). Lastly, you will sketch a three-dimensional model of chemical structure using dashed lines and wedges for all of the 6 molecular compounds. Procedure 1. For each of the 6 compounds in Data Table 1 (part a), determine how many electron domains are present on the central atom (use the Lewis structures of the 6 compounds from Experiment 1). Record the number of electron domains in the appropriate column in Doto Toble 2 (below) 2. Next, again using your previous Lewis Structure, determine how many electron domains on the central atoms are lone pairs. Record your answer in the appropriate column of Doto Toble 2 (below). 3. Once you have determined the number of electron domains and number of lone pairs, use the reference table below (Figure 4) to determine the appropriate molecular geometry (name and bond angles), Record your answer in Doto Table 2 (below).
