Overall Goal of Lesson: predict molecular structure for molecules with linear, trigonal planar, or
tetrahedral electron pair geometries using Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory.
Instructional Objectives:
-Students can predict the structure for molecules based off of a given formula
-Students can model the structure
TEKS
Key Vocabulary:
( Tek 112.35C6B ): predict molecular structure for
VSEPR, covalent, ionic, lone pair, electrons,
molecules with linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral
valence
electron pair geometries using Valence Shell Electron Pair
Repulsion (VSEPR) theory.
Higher Order Questions:
What factor decides which atom will be in the center of a covalent molecule?
Student Activities:
Bond lab
Computer simulator
Model kits
Modifications/ELL Strategies:
Simplify instructions for ELL learners.
Check up on student to insure they are
doing well.
