Across
  1. 5. Molecular geometry with six atoms or groups of atoms arranged around a central atom, forming a symmetrical shape.
  2. 7. Molecular shape with two bond pairs and one lone pair, resulting in a bent or V-shaped structure.
  3. 9. Molecules with an even distribution of charge, often found in symmetrical geometries like octahedral.
  4. 11. The tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond, influencing molecular polarity.
  5. 12. Molecular shape with three bonds and one lone pair, creating a pyramid-like structure.
  6. 13. An electrically charged atom or molecule, often contributing to overall molecular charge.
  7. 15. A characteristic of molecules with an octahedral geometry, indicating a balanced arrangement of atoms.
  8. 16. Geometry with six atoms or groups of atoms surrounding a central atom.
Down
  1. 1. Molecular geometry with five atoms or groups of atoms arranged around a central atom.
