5
bond pairs
0
lone pairs
120
° and
90
° bond angles
Shapes of molecules pt5
SF6
6
bond pairs
0
lone pairs
The shapes name is called
octahedral
90
° is the bond angle
Shapes of molecules pt6
2
bond pairs
1
lone pairs
Shape of molecule is
V
shaped
Bond angle
117.5
° because it's a
trigonal
planar shape with a
lone
pairs instead of bond pairs so you would do
120°
-
2.5
°

Shape of molecule is called
Trigonal
planar
or
T
shaped
89
° bond angles
Shapes of molecules pt11
5
bond pairs
1

Shape is called
square
pyramidal
Bond angle is
89
°
Shapes of molecules
pt12
4
bond pairs
2 lone pairs

° bond angles
Shape of molecule is called
square planar
VESPR theory
Since
lone
pairs
repel
more that
bond
pairs,
lone
pairs create the
shape
of the molecules
