Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Molecule Shapes - Model

Explore electron geometry and molecular geometry by building 3D models of molecules. Add lone pairs or single, double, or triple bonded atoms to a central atom, and observe how the shape and bond angles change. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
