Click on the “Molecule Shapes” simulation, and next choose the “Real Molecules” option.
Choose a molecule from the top right corner. Please choose either CO2, SO2, BF3, NH3, or CH4, as the other options involve geometries that will not be discussed in this course. Try clicking on the molecule and dragging it around to get a feeling for the 3-dimensional structure.
Once you have made your final selection, click the boxes at the bottom to name the ‘Molecule Geometry’ and ‘Electron Geometry’ and report your findings. The molecule H2O is used below as an example.
Molecule: H2O
Molecule Geometry: Bent
Electron Geometry: Tetrahedral
