Polarity of
Bonds and
Molecular
Geometry
 Objective
At thes:
end of the lesson, you shall be able to:

• define molecular geometry;

• familiarize with the different shapes of molecules;
• explain how polarity of bonds and molecular
geometry affects the polarity of molecules
 Molecule Geometry
It refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a
molecule and the angles between them. It's determined by the
number of atoms and lone pairs surrounding the central atom.
This arrangement influences the overall shape of the molecule,
which in turn affects its physical and chemical properties.
 Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
(VSEPR) Theory
This theory is fundamental in predicting the molecular
geometry of covalently bonded molecules. It states that
electron pairs around a central atom repel each other and
arrange themselves in a way that maximizes their distance,
thus determining the shape of the molecule.
 Few key points to understand about
molecular geometry:
• Central Atom: In a molecule, one atom is often the central
atom to which other atoms are bonded. This central atom
determines the molecular geometry.
• Bonding Electron Pairs: These are pairs of electrons involved
in covalent bonds between atoms. They contribute to the
overall shape of the molecule.
Central Atom
Bonding Electron Pairs
 Few key points to understand about
molecular geometry:
• Lone Electron Pairs: These are pairs of electrons that are not involved in
bonding and remain on the central atom. They also influence the
molecular shape by exerting repulsion on bonded electron pairs.
• Steric Number: This is the total number of bonding electron pairs and
lone pairs around the central atom. It helps determine the molecular
geometry.
 Common
Molecular
Geometries
Linear geometry

Resembles a straight line

and occurs when there are
only two electron domains
around the central atom
Tetrahedral geometry

Resembles a pyramid with a

triangular base and occurs
when there are four electron
domains around the central
atom.
Trigonal planar
geometry
It looks like a flat triangle
and occurs when there are
three electron domains
around the central atom.
Trigonal Bipyramidal

It occurs when a central atom is

bonded to five other atoms or
groups of atoms, resulting in a
shape resembling two pyramids
joined at their bases.
Octahedtral
It occurs when a central atom is
bonded to six other atoms or groups
of atoms, resulting in a shape
resembling an octahedron, which is a
three-dimensional figure with eight
faces.
Polarity of Molecules
