QUANTUM GEOMETRY AKA QUANTUM MECHANICS
DEFINITION THE 3-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE OF IONS, ATOMS, & MOLECULES
SO? THE LEWISDIAGRAM GIVES US BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT A MOLECULAR BOND H:H BORING! BORING! BORING!
YOWSA! THE VESPR MODEL SHOWS US ITS 3-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE HALLELUJAH MAN!
ITS AN ACRONYM VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION MODEL 2
3-D GEOMETRY AFFECTS A MOLECULE’S PHYSICAL & CHEMICALPROPERTIES : MELTING PT. BOILING PT. VOLUMEREACTIONS
THE PROCEDURE P1V1=P2V2=P3V3=P4V4=P5V5 . . . JUST KIDDING!!! STICK WITH ME—IT AIN’T THAT HARD!
THE PROCEDURE THE MOLECULE WHOSE GEOMETRY IS TO BE DETERMINED IS NOTATED AS . . . ABX A =ANY ELEMENT B =ANY OTHER ELEMENT X=THE NUMBER OF B ATOMS ATTACHED
EXAMPLE A = CARBON B = HYDROGEN x= # OF HYDROGEN
EXAMPLE CONTINUED ABX (METHANE) = AB4 = CH4
