Chem1 Virtual Textbook: Molecular Geometry

Curated by ACT

An advanced explanation of the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory describes specific molecular models involving digonal, trigonal, tetrahedral, and octahedral coordination, as well as central atoms with five bonds. Illustrations and some animations accompany the text, and a concept map follows.
