Drawing VSEPR and those troublesome lone pairs...

Today we talked about drawing VSEPR structures and the shapes that result from structures that contain lone pairs. The shapes and angles are all a result of lone pairs (LPs) being "bigger" than bonding pairs (BPs), meaning that LP-LP interactions are more intense than LP-BP interactions which are more intense than BP-BP interactions.

Don't forget about your current Mastering Chemistry assignments, Assignment 18 is due Saturday, Assignment 19 is due Tuesday.

Again, for students in all of my lab sections, your Iron Ore hand in is due by noon next Tuesday, November 25th.

Have a good weekend, I'll see you all on Monday.
