SHAPES OF MOLECULES - Electron repulsion theory

Molyorbital™

8 model Collection Set

Art.Nr. MOS-902-8

This set contains sufficient parts to make the eight atomic models shown in the adjacent photograph.

The different shapes are examples of the orientations of the bonds and cover co-ordination numbers 1 to 6. Lone pairs are represented by brown spheres.or brown pear-shaped parts.

The 2 extra pear shaped parts are included in the set to enable protonated models to be made.e.g. Acid/Base theory, the formation of H30+ as a result of the migration of H+ from Hydrogen chloride.

Co-ordination Nr.	Shape	Formula	Compound		Co-ordination Nr.	Shaper.	Formula	Compound
1	Linear	HCl	Hydrogen chloride		3	Pyramidal	NH3	Ammonia
2	Linear	BeCl2	Beryllium chloride		4	Tetrahedral	CH4	Methane
2	Bent	H2O	Water		5	Trigonal bipyramidal	PCl5	Phosphorus pentachloride
3	Trigonal planar	BH3	Boron trihydride		6	Octahedral	SF6	Sulphur hexafluoride
