To access: Click on “Discussions” on the left menu of the Home Page and click on the Discussion 5. Then start a thread.

Discussion Rubric
In Discussion 3, describe the role of intermolecular forces in electronic and molecular shapes. How does the presence of lone (unshared) electrons change the electronic shape in the formation of the molecular shape? Be sure to cite specific examples of this phenomenon on molecules from the VSEPR section of the text, Bb Lab and/or Worksheet. (Insert diagrams or images)
You may comment on one or more of these questions and personal experiences are also welcome. Just start posting and we will see where the conversation takes us! You do not use citations in the body of your posts. These must be in your own words. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE! Keep in mind that your discussion should show me how knowledgeable you are on this topic. Responses should show thought and interest in the post you are responding to. Make sure you engage the original author so they will want to respond. “Great post” or ” agree” are not complete responses.
This is a 20 point assignment. This is an opportunity to earn points by looking at a specific topic and use data to support your opinion. Fair warning: If you give me a half-hearted response, I will give you a half-hearted grade!
