Lecture

Molecular Geometry: Lewis Structures

Description

This lecture covers the methodology for drawing Lewis structures, including enumerating valence electrons, connecting atoms, assigning ion charges, and placing electrons. It explains the concept of formal charges in Lewis structures and how to determine the most plausible structure. The lecture also discusses hypervalence, hypovalence, and the importance of minimizing electronic repulsion energy to determine molecular geometries.
