3 Quest Blog 1/19/18

recently we learned about different molecular geometry. and made a foldable to remember the different shapes.
recently i have learned that electron regions affect the shape of a molecule.
next im planning to look back at the foldable when needed to remember what shape different molecules will take.

Molecular shapes blog

1. How does the number of things around a central atom effect the shape of the molecule? We need to know this because we need to know what shape a given molecule is based on it's composition.
2. During the investigation, we used a simulation that allowed us to see the effects of different things on an atom, we then charted down our findings. We did it in this way because it is impossible for the unaided human eye to see individual molecules
3. My claim is that the more things around an atom, the smaller the angles between electron pairs, evidence was a chart of different molecular shapes, and reasoning was comparing the different shapes.
