Mission CB9 VSEPR

Mission CB9 pertains to VSEPR theory; the emphasis is on understanding the foundational principles and using them to predict electron pair geometries and bond angles for molecules with four or less electron pairs. The mission consists of 32 questions organized into 8 Question Groups.

Learning Outcomes

  • The student should be able to describe the assumptions behind valence shell electron pair repulsion theory and why they support specific electron pair geometries and not others.
  • The student should be able to associate an electron pair geometry and bond angle with a Lewis electron dot diagram.
