Molecular Shape
Most molecules are not flat as they appear in twodimensional Lewis structures
Molecules have three-dimensional shapes
Shape can be predicted using Valence Shell
Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory
Shape via VSEPR
First obtain the Lewis structure
Then apply the VSEPR rules:
All valence shell electron pairs (electron charge
clouds) are treated equally whether they are
bonding or nonbonding
Stereochemically significant electron pairs
Double and triple bonds are treated as single
bonds for predicting molecular shapes
Electron pairs orient in space to get as far away
from neighbors as possible
Shape via VSEPR
Electron pairs orient in space to get as far away from
neighbors as possible

Molecular shape is determined by the positions of
atoms
Therefore NH3 will be pyramidal with a
triangular base
