Lewis Structures, VSEPR and Molecular Modeling
A model is worth a thousand words. Young scholars use what they know about the structure of hydrocarbons to build Lewis dot structures and molecular models. Their tasks include multiple bonds, geometric hybrids, and various isomers.

Chemical Formula Practice #1/Bonding Basics Practice Page
The first of two worksheets methodically prepares chemistry novices for naming polyatomic compounds. It begins by having them acknowledge the number of each atom contained in a molecule. Then learners list the valence electrons for a...

Summary of Shapes of Molecules
Neatly organized and easy-to-read, this chart summarizes five different molecular shapes: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. It associates shape with electron pairs and atom arrangement, and...

Working out the Shapes of Molecules
For this molecular geometry worksheet, students are given the directions and 4 examples as to how to predict the geometry of molecules. They determine if the molecules are pyramidal or trigonal bipyramidal.
