MOLECULAR Models
CHECKLIST OF THINGS TO DO TO PREPARE FOR THIS EXPERIMENT
❑ It is assumed that you already know how to draw Lewis structures and have covered VSEPR theory in Chem 151 lecture prior to this experiment.
❑ A chemist can make many different models of the same molecule; different models provide different types of information.
o Know how to interpret an electrostatic potential map (elpot).
Solution Preview
Lewis structures are chemical structures used to describe the bonding between the atoms and molecules and also pairs of lone electrons that exist in the molecular structures. Lewis structures are also called dot structures diagrams, Lewis dot diagrams, or even Lewis electron dot structures.
