Abstract for SimLab#3 - The Lewis Model on a Spreadsheet; The VSEPR Theory of Molecular Shape


In the first part of this lab you will use a spreadsheet to perform electron "bookkeeping" in service of the Lewis Model of electronic structure.

In the second part of this lab you use the VSEPR Theory to predict molecular shape.

To prepare for this laboratory, we suggest you read 3-1 through 3-6 in Oxtoby
