VSEPR Theory: Introduction

To see all my Chemistry videos, check out This is an introduction to the basics of VSEPR Theory. VSEPR theory is a set of rules for how to look at a Lewis structure and determine the three dimensional (3D) shape of a molecule. The shapes have to do with the location of bonds and lone electrons pairs. In this video, we’ll look at the following shapes: linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, and trigonal bipyramidal
