How to determine molecular shape
After drawing our molecular models how do we determine its three-dimensional shape?

I don't think we learned this in lecture yet but I think its based on the number of bonds and what type of bonds there are.

I think we have to refer to VSEPR notation/ molecular geometry for that, which we have not learned yet in this class.

We haven't really mentioned that yet. We are just learning the basics at the moment

Re: How to determine molecular shape
The 3-d molecular geometry of compounds has not been discussed in detail yet. I would just focus on the linearity of the compound at this point when observing interactions or Van Der Waals forces between compounds.
