Presents exercises where students can check their understanding of the Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Model by predicting what a molecular shape will be. Requires Java.

Explains the principles of the Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Model, and gives examples of the geometry. Requires Java.

Why does the shape of a molecule matter? Learn about how the shape of the molecule not only determines the molecule's properties but also whether it reacts or not. This tutorial reviews of VSEPR and molecular geometry.

This site talks about ionic, polar covalent, and non-polar covalent bonding.

View the approximate locations of electrons in valence shells 1s through 4f.

An overview of chemical bonding and how valence electrons play a major role in these processes.

This simulation shows a simple band diagram for metals for Group 1A and 2A and the transition series. Each metal's valence orbitals combine to create a band that is responsible for the element's properties.

Students will use colored fruit loops to organize valence electrons to develop and master the basics of Lewis Dot diagrams. They will develop processing and critical thinking skills and also master a model of bonding.

This lesson will demonstrate how to identify an element and state the number of valence electrons given its electron configuration. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Interpreting Electron Configurations."

Find out how energy level models are represented on the Periodic Table of Elements.
