samsin Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 If a coordination compound is given, how can you determine its proper shape from its formula? I wanna know the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iota Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) http://www.inchm.bris.ac.uk/schools/vsepr/ Go through the tabs here for an explanation. If you want to look up the methodology some more Google 'VESPR'... sorry that's VSEPR. Basically you predict the shape based on bond repulsion of negative electrons.
