Mission CB11 VSEPR and Expanded Octets

Mission CB11 requires that students identify the electron pair geometry and molecular shape from a given Lewis electron dot structure. Most structures include expanded octets. The mission consists of 36 questions organized into 11 Question Groups.

Learning Outcomes

  • The student should be able to predict the electron pair geometry and molecular shape for molecular compounds and polyatomic ions with expanded octets.
