Molecule Shapes
The shape of a molecule is determined by the arrangement of atoms around the central atom and lone pairs of electrons. Scholars build models of molecules using single, double, and triple bonds. They can then see real molecules bond...
Royal Society of Chemistry
Shapes of Molecules—Geometry of Central Atom
How is a molecule's shape determined? Explore bond angles, lone pairs, and VSEPR theory through a logic-based activity. Chemists pull together information about the major molecular shapes, then use it to solve puzzles.
Curated OER
Circles to Spheres
Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes activity, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.
Curated OER
Symmetry that is Basic and Beautiful
Students explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.
Curated OER
Lewis Structure Worksheet
In this chemistry worksheet, students draw the Lewis structures of 9 compounds and polyatomic ions, identify their molecular shapes and polarity.
Curated OER
Geometry in the Constellations: The ER-2
Young scholars discuss reasons to record the location of stars. They view a picture of the night sky, and discuss constellations. Students complete a worksheet of the various shapes they see in the constellations.
Curated OER
Organic Chemistry 231, Martin Larter, Exam 1
If you need a straightforward and comprehensive organic chemistry exam, check this one out. Chemistry pupils identify functional groups in molecule diagrams, draw a Lewis structure, fill in a table about molecular shape, predict boiling...
Curated OER
Polygons and Vertices
In this geometry worksheet, students analyze different polygons and relate it to a circuit board. They find the odd degree Euler circuit and identify the vertices of the odd degree. There are 3 questions with an answer key.
Curated OER
How Many Regular Polyhedrons Are There In This or Any Universe?
Young scholars examine the idea of "regularity" as it pertains to geometry. In this geometry activity students complete several assignments that are part of trihedral angles and regular polyhedrons.
Curated OER
Lewis Structures and Bonding
In this compounds worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the chemical compounds structure, resonance, geometry, hybridization, and bond angles. Then students complete 2 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Pauli's Magical Water
Students predict the shape of molecules using VSEPR theory. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate a polar and nonpolar molecule. They discuss why water's polarity is very important.
Virginia Department of Education
Molecular Model Building
During this hands-on activity, young chemists build molecular models based on the Lewis dot structure before studying valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
