What factors affect the shape of the molecule?
The factors affecting the shape of the molecules are the bonded e and the lone pairs of electrons
What shape are all diatomic molecules?
Diatomic molecules have 2 atoms combined. The way they line up is determined by the desire to keep each atom as far away as possible from all the other electrons in the molecule apart from those being shared. The only way to do this is to be a linear molecule, so the atoms are side by side.
VSEPR theory is a model for predicting?
VSEPR theory is a model that predicts the three-dimensional molecular geometry of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell of an atom. It helps to determine the shape of molecules by considering the number of bonding and nonbonding electron pairs around the central atom.
What shape did Watson and Crick determine DNA molecules were?
Watson and Crick determined that DNA molecules are in the shape of a double helix, which resembles a twisted ladder. The double helix structure consists of two strands that are connected by complementary base pairs.
What are the three of the many possible shapes of molecules?
Without given a specific molecule there is not any way to determine the shape. Beryllium chloride consists of beryllium in the middle and a chlorine on each side, and is in the shape of a straight line.
