Introduction The purpose of this lab is to practice identifying different molecules, and be able to determine their electron and molecular geometries. And use that to find their different angle. Electron geometry is found by seeing how many electron shells are present, and molecular geometry if found by how many lone pairs are present. The next thing that must be done is to find the polarity of the molecule by combining different solutions together.

Procedure The first model molecules were built to get a better understanding of what each molecule looks like with different amounts of lone pairs. Started by building a tetrahedral, a trigonal by pyramidal, and a octahedral. Then looked at how the shapes of the molecules changed when
