Molecular Geometry Table

What is Molecular Geometry Table?

A Molecular Geometry Table is a tool used in chemistry to describe the arrangement of atoms in a molecule. It provides information about the bond angles, bond lengths, and overall shape of the molecule. By understanding molecular geometry, scientists can predict the chemical properties and behaviors of different compounds.

What are the types of Molecular Geometry Table?

There are several types of Molecular Geometry Tables based on the number of atoms and lone pairs present in a molecule. Some common types include:

Linear: when there are only two atoms bonded to the central atom, with no lone pairs
Trigonal Planar: when there are three atoms bonded to the central atom, with no lone pairs
Tetrahedral: when there are four atoms bonded to the central atom, with no lone pairs
Trigonal Bipyramidal: when there are five atoms bonded to the central atom, with no lone pairs
Octahedral: when there are six atoms bonded to the central atom, with no lone pairs

How to complete Molecular Geometry Table

Completing a Molecular Geometry Table requires a systematic approach. Here are the steps to follow:

01
Identify the central atom: This is the atom that all other atoms are bonded to.
02
Determine the number of atoms bonded to the central atom: Count the atoms directly bonded to the central atom.
03
Identify the number of lone pairs on the central atom: These are the pairs of electrons that are not involved in bonding.
04
Determine the geometry based on the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs: Use the appropriate Molecular Geometry Table to find the shape of the molecule.
05
Fill in the bond angles and bond lengths: The Molecular Geometry Table provides the values for bond angles and bond lengths based on the geometry of the molecule.
