This study guide covers molecular geometry and chemical bonding. For molecular geometry, it explains the VSEPR theory, including electron domains, molecular geometry, lone pairs, and hybridization, with a helpful table summarizing key VSEPR concepts and examples. For chemical bonding, it describes sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds, relating them to bond order, bond length, and bond energy. The guide also provides visual aids and memory tips for both topics.
