Updated: Now includes editable, print, & digital options for the lesson. Perfect for distance learning or the paperless classroom. Interactive student notes, exit ticket, and homework for Google Slides™, for use with Google Apps™. Also updated with editable student notes, homework, & exit ticket.

At this point, students should be able to draw Lewis structures and have an understanding of covalent bonding. In this lesson, students will be introduced to molecular geometry. The lesson will reinforce drawing Lewis Structures, and then using their drawings, students will predict the molecular geometry of molecules. Six main molecular shapes are included: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and two forms of the bent molecule. I have my students learn these six. If you want to include other molecular shapes, you can use the editable PowerPoint to add slides of your own.

Depending on your level of students and your standards, this may be considered an honors level lesson.

Lesson Objectives:
* Explain the VSEPR Theory including its basis and assumption
Predict the molecular shape of molecules based on the Lewis Structure
  Predict the shapes of polyatomic ions based on the Lewis Structure
Explain the effect of lone pairs of electrons on the molecular geometry of the molecule
Determine molecular geometry according to the VSEPR Theory for linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and bent shapes (2)

Prior Knowledge:
An understanding of covalent bonding and Lewis Structures

Lesson Duration: 1 class period

Included in This Resource:
PowerPoint Presentation – Editable & Animated
* Student Notes – Cloze Notes, editable, print & digital

Teacher Prep Time: just print and go!

Note on the PowerPoints: The PowerPoints included in this product are editable. They are also animated, which means that they may appear busy or overlapping in the slide edit mode, but will be awesome in the slide show mode! Please don’t edit the PowerPoints until you have seen them in the slide show mode!

This lesson is appropriate for grades 9-12 chemistry

This will be a lesson you will want to use year after year!
