MOLECULAR SHAPES
Lewis structures show which atoms are connected where, and by how many bonds, but they don't properly show 3-D shapes of molecules.
To find the actual shape of a molecule, first draw the Lewis structure, and then use VSEPR Theory.

VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON-PAIR REPULSION THEORY OR VSEPR
► Molecular Shape is determined by the repulsions of electron pairsElectron pairs around the central atom stay
as far apart as possible.► Electron Pair Geometry - based on number of
regions of electron densityConsider non-bonding (lone pairs) as well
as bonding electrons.Electron pairs in single, double and triple
bonds are treated as single electron clouds.► Molecular Geometry - based on the electron
pair geometry, this is the shape of the molecule

LET’S REVIEW VSEPR THEORY
Predicts the molecular shape of a bonded molecule
Electrons around the central atom arrange themselves as far apart from each other as possible
Unshared pairs of electrons (lone pairs) on the central atom repel the most
So only look at what is connected to the central atom

3 EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE
Molecules with an odd number of electrons Molecules with atoms near the boundary
between metals and nonmetals will tend to have less than an octet on the central atom. (i.e. B, Be, Al, Ga)
Molecules with a central atom with electrons in the 3rd period and beyond will sometimes have more than an octet on the central atom, up to 12, called an extended or expanded octet.

Step 1: Count the number of valence electrons. For a neutral molecule this is equal to the number of valence electrons of the constituent atoms.
Example (CH3NO2):Each hydrogen contributes 1 valence electron. Each carbon contributes 4, nitrogen 5, and each oxygen 6 for a total of 24.

Step 3: Subtract the number of electrons in bonds from the total number of valence electrons.
