| 1010 - Electronic Shapes |
| 1010 - Know that taste depends a great deal on the three-dimensional structures of food molecules. |
| 1020 - Know and understand that VSEPR theory is based on electron groups that repel each other. |
| 1030 - Understand that VSEPR predicts five base shapes according to the number of electron groups surrounding a central atom. |
| 1040 - Predict electronic shape from electron pair counts: linear (2), trigonal planar (3), tetrahedral(4), trigonal bipyramidal (5), and octahedral (6). |
| 1050 - Sketch and name the electronic shape of a molecule from the number of electron pairs on the central atom. |
| 1020 - Bond Angles |
| 1010 - Know the base bond angles defined by each electronic shape. |
| 1015 - Provide the base bond angle for each electronic shape (and two bond angles for trigonal bipyramidal). |
| 1017 - Explain what causes bond angle compression. |
| 1020 - Predict if a bond angle is compressed (less than electronic angle) or stretched, due to lone pairs or higher bond order. |
| 1030 - Label each unique bond angle in a structure sketch (show compression or stretching where it occurs). |
| 1030 - Molecular Geometry |
| 1010 - Understand the difference between electron geometry and molecular geometry. |
| 1020 - Know how lone pair electrons on molecular geometry with respect to shape and bond angle. |
| 1025 - Explain why larger atoms prefer the equatorial position in trigonal bipyramical structures. |
| 1030 - Predict, name and draw the possible molecular geometries from each electronic geometry. |
| 1040 - Predict and draw the electron and molecular geometries for molecules, by predicting the geometry of each central atom. |
