Summary of Shapes of Molecules

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Neatly organized and easy to read, this chart summarizes five different molecular shapes: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. It associates shapes with electron pairs and atom arrangement and lists examples of each. You will find a link to a website that animates molecular models at the bottom of the page. Give this to your chemistry class as a helpful reference chart.
