CHEM 1001 – 2020, Laboratory #5 1

Name (First & Last): CHEM 1001, Fall 2020, Lab #5: Exploring Molecular Shapes

LAB ASSIGNMENT WORKSHEET This is what you will upload to Canvas, as a single PDF file, for your TA to grade.

• Before you get started, please make sure that this file is not opening in a browser and is saved to your computer (documents or desktop).

• If it is not easy for you to draw your Lewis Structures into the boxes, you may draw your Lewis Structures on blank paper and use an app like CamScan to upload the file with your worksheet. If you draw on paper, please make sure it is easy to read and organized.

Part 1: Building and Exploring Molecular Shapes This part of the laboratory will be completed in your laboratory, with a partner.

1) Use the directions Procedure File for your instructions. Only your answers will go into this worksheet file.

2) Complete Data Table #1, one row at a time. Data Table #1 – Lewis Structures, Molecular Geometry, and Polarity

Molecular Formula

Lewis Structure (Draw any resonance structures and then bond dipoles with another color)

Molecular Geometry
