VSEPR Theory - lone electron pair influence
Bond Angle Distortion: Lone pairs reduce bond angles between bonding pairs. For example, in a molecule like NH₃ (ammonia), the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5° is compressed to around 107° due to the presence of a lone pair on nitrogen....

Practice Problem: VSEPR Theory and Molecular Geometry
What's with all these shapes? Let's practice assigning hybridization, electron-domain geometry, and molecular geometry. Octahedral! Tetrahedral! Linear! Pyramids and see-saws and what not! Chemistry is fun, isn't it?

What is Chirality and How Did it Get in My Molecules?
Flashy animation, superb narrative, and a touch of bad-hair-day humor explain the nature of chiral molecules in this five-minute feature. Viewers find out how chemist Jacobus Van't Hoff proposed that some saturated carbon molecules are...
