Introduction The Model (VSEPR) Examples
Introduction
This web site is intended help you learn to estimate the shape of a molecule once you have determined the molecule's Lewis Structure.  The model used is often called the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model and descriptions of it may be found in almost all introductory chemistry texts.

Software Requirements
