VSEPR Theory Animation

From Holt, Reinhart, and Winston's Modern Chemistry

Chemical Bonding 12/13/07 (Std 4.4)

Objective: SWBAT determine if a molecule is polar.

Agenda:
  • Attractive Molecules Lab

HW: write up conclusion for today's lab

A good conclusion:
  • Restates the hypothesis (you answer to whether you thought water was going to be polar or not)
  • Describes the results of the lab
  • Uses the results to evaluate the hypothesis (relate what you observed to the hypothesis)
For this lab, your conclusions should relate the following concepts to the results that you observed:
  • VSEPR Theory
  • Geometry of the molecule (the shape)
  • Polarity and electronegativity
