In this episode we define the acronym V-S-E-P-R and take a closer look at bonding and non-bonding electron pairs around a central atom (1:10). We distinguish between electron-domain geometry and molecular geometry (1:50). The episode describes the six electron-domain geometries (2:40) as well as the molecular geometries and bonding angles that arise from “mix and matching” bonding and non-bonding electron pairs (3:45). Balloons are a great tool to visualize these molecular shapes (7:00).Question: (8:06 )What is the molecular shape of NH3? trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, or tetrahedralThank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: Chemistry Edition!(AP is a registered trademark of the College Board and is not affiliated with The APsolute RecAP.
