Molecular Geometry
Across
- 2. The stable, fixed positions that atoms in a molecule maintain due to the repulsion and attraction forces between subatomic particles.
- 4. Subatomic particle that is outside the nucleus and determines an atom's bonding behavior.
- 5. The region of space around the nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found.
- 6. The 180-degree bond angle is characteristic of this molecular geometry.
- 7. The central subatomic particle that has a positive charge.
- 9. The geometric shape of a molecule with two single bonds and two lone pairs on the central atom
- 10. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion is abbreviated what?
- 11. Carbon-14 has this number of neutrons (Hint: Mass Number - Atomic Number).
Down
- 1. A molecule with three single bonds and one lone pair has this geometry
- 3. Geometry for a molecule with four single bonds and zero lone pairs, such as the initial molecule in the lab
- 6. An unshared pair of electrons on the central atom
- 8. The general shape of a molecule with six total atoms, including five atoms bonded to the central atom.
