Molecule Shapes

Molecule Shapes

Molecular Geometry Simulation

Description

Why are some molecules linear and others bent? Molecule Shapes lets you add bonds and lone pairs to a central atom, and the electron pairs push apart so the shape changes by itself, which makes VSEPR theory easy to see.

Show bond angles and switch to real molecules to compare theory against reality.

Features



Add bonds and lone pairs: Click to add and the molecule rotates to adapt.

Bond angles: Display each angle.

Real molecules: Look at water, ammonia, CO2 and more.
