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.

Explore molecule shapes by building molecules in 3D. How does molecule shape change with different numbers of bonds and electron pairs? Find out by adding single, double or triple bonds and lone pairs to the central atom. Then, compare...
