VSEPR Chart

[Racquel Fox 2I]

Does anyone know if we will get a VSEPR chart for the final, or do we have to memorize all of the molecular shapes?

[Adrienne Yuh 2B]

I'm pretty sure we have to memorize it. I don't see a VSEPR chart on his website and we had to remember all of them in high school.

Hi! I believe we have to memorize the molecular shapes and that we will not be given a VSEPR chart. I think the only things that we can use are the periodic table and the formula sheet that Lavelle provided us. Hope this helps! :)

Hi I found this really good website to study the VSEPR chart.

Yes, I think that we're expected to have the molecular shapes & bond angles memorized. However, there are many great infographics & charts online that concisely explain everything and I think Dr. Lavelle also does a really good job going in depth in his lectures.

I'm pretty sure we'll have to memorize the shapes and bond angles. Hope this helps!

Hi! We will have to memorize the shapes, we will only be given the periodic table and the formula sheet.

I think the main point is to understand how VSEPR affects bond shape, like how having a lone pair on a central atom will affect the bond angle and where to put atoms and lone pairs around bonding atoms, but I don't think we have to memorize things like bond angles. Just know enough to be able to figure out shape (tetrahedral, bent, linear, etc).

[Inderpal Singh 2L]

I think we will have to memorize it but with enough practice, some of them should become very apparent to us.

[Hannah Rim 2D]

I'm pretty sure that we'll have to memorize the entire chart (shapes + angles). Hope this helps!

[Adam Bustamante 1I]

To be safe, I would just try to memorize the different VSEPR shapes and bond angles. We might not need to know every single one of them exactly but maybe just be tested on certain aspects about them, but who knows.

[Lucy_Balish_3G]

I agree, pretty sure we are expected to memorize these shapes and know their names, how to draw them, and the bond angles.

[Katelyn_Ortega_1D]

I believe we would have to memorize it. But hopefully he will let us know and tell us he will provide us with that information for the final!

Yes! This is the website the Justin recommended during his workshop and it is really helpful for visualizing the molecular shapes. He just reminded us to double check the angles listed on this website because he wasn't 100% sure if they were accurate.

[Kyle Dizon 3A]

Emphasizing what the others have said, it is probably better to just memorize it. The resources that is provided by the TA’s and UA’s will probably be our best bet in regards of being familiar with the shapes, bond angles, etc.

[Talia Dini - 3I]

Hi! I believe that we will have to memorize the shapes and bond angles for the final!

[Lauren Strickland 1B]

I believe we have to memorize them for the final.

[Tatyana Bonnet 2H]

I think we do have to memorize the shape and the angles, although Lavelle said we won't necessarily be drawing them, we will still have to recognize them and apply them to problems.

[Keon Amirazodi 3H]

We should be memorizing it
