Shape

[Marcela Udave 1F]

When asked for the shape, are we always supposed to say the molecular geometry rather than the electronic geometry?

[Vana Mirzakhani 3I]

Yes, we always write the molecular geometry because it gives a more accurate shape name than electronic geometry.

[Erica Li 1C]

Yeah I'm pretty sure Lavelle said that he would always be asking for molecular geometry

[Jocelyne Milke 1G]

I think he would clarify which one he wants us to answer but we most likely will be doing molecular geometry

[Rehan Chinoy 1K]

Yes, shape means molecular geometry. Professor Lavelle will be explicit about it on the final though.

[Kelsey Li 3B]

When we are asked for the shape then we respond with the molecular geometry, not the electronic geometry.
