🧪

Chemistry Edition

Core VSEPR shapes for first-year chemistry, including both bent geometries and the major parent geometries.

8 shapes
⚛️

AP Chemistry Edition

The complete VSEPR library, including expanded-octet molecular geometries.

Full shape set

Choose a Practice Station

Study the scaffold diagrams, then test yourself by identifying each molecular shape.

🧪 Flashcard Lab

Flip through the molecular shapes and review bond angles, lone pairs, hybridization, and example molecules.

🛰️ Shape Identity

Analyze an unknown molecular diagram and identify its shape, bond angle, hybridization, and number of lone pairs.

VSEPR reminder: Electron groups arrange themselves to minimize repulsion. Lone pairs occupy more space than bonding pairs and compress nearby bond angles.
