This is part of a series on chemical bonding. It covers how to use Lewis Structures and a VSEPR chart to determine the shape of molecules. Hybridization is introduced in relation to electron domains and bond angles. This video is intended to help students understand chemistry or to help teachers who are trying to flip their chemistry classroom. This video is part of a larger playlist that can be found here: https://chemistryismyjam.com/bonding-... The printable VSEPR chart referenced in the video can be found here: https://chemistryismyjam.com/VSEPR-Chart Looking for something in particular?
