Exploring Molecular Geometry with PhET Simulation
by Jovencio III Jr Tierra
In this engaging and interactive lesson, high school students (grades 10-12) will explore the fascinating world of molecular geometry using the PhET "Molecule Shapes" simulation. The lesson is designed to enhance students' understanding of how molecular shapes are determined and the importance of bond angles in defining the physical and chemical properties of molecules. Students will then delve into the PhET simulation, where they can manipulate molecules to observe how different numbers of atoms and lone pairs influence molecular geometry.
