Molecular Shapes
The shape of a molecule is determined by this.
What are bond angles?
VSEPR stands for this.
The process of mixing atomic orbitals.
What is Hybridization?
the sideways orbitals of p orbitals produces this
What is pi bonds?
This explains how atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals, which describe the distribution of electrons in a molecule.
What is Molecular Orbital Theory?
These two shapes define the shape and size of a molecule.
What are bond lengths and bond angles?
The best arrangement of a given number of electron domains.
What is the one that minimizes the repulsions among them?
When we mix three atomic orbitals, we get ____ hybrid orbitals.
the strongest type of covalent bond formed by the direct, head-on overlap of atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis
what is sigma bond
molecular orbital theory describes the electrons in molecules using specific wave functions called this
What are molecular orbitals?
The number of shapes possible for ABn molecules depends on this value.
What is the value of n?
Molecular geometry of a molecule with two bonding domains and one nonbonding.
What is bent?
A linear arrangement of electron domains implies ____ Hyrbridization.
single bonds are ______ bonds
What are sigma bonds?
When the energy of the resulting molecular orbital is lower than the energy of the two atomic orbitals from which it was made it is called this.
bonding molecular orbital
Value of the bond angles in an AB4 molecule?
What is 109.5°?
Molecular geometry of a molecule with three bonding domains and two non-bonding domains.
What is t-shaped?

double bonds consist of one _____ bond and one _____ bond.
What is one sigma bond and one pi bond?
When the energy of the resulting molecular orbital is higher than the energy of the atomic orbitals.
antibonding molecular orbital
The values of the bond angles in an AB5 molecule.

Molecular geometry of a molecule with 4 bonding domains and 2 non-bonding domains.
What is square planar?
Hybridization of an H2O molecule
What is sp3 hybridization?
Because pi bonds require that portions of a molecule be planar, they can introduce ______ into molecules.
the relative energies of two 1s and atomic orbitals and the molecular orbitals formed from them are represented by this
