SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on verifying Lewis dot diagrams and improving understanding through expert feedback. Users recommend utilizing online applets, specifically from the website bpreid.com, which provide interactive tools for checking Lewis structures. Additionally, a video resource from 101science.com is suggested for further learning about Lewis dot structures, VSEPR theory, and hybridization. The correct structure for SF6 is confirmed to be octahedral, emphasizing the importance of accurate molecular geometry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lewis dot structures
  • Familiarity with VSEPR theory
  • Knowledge of hybridization concepts
  • Basic skills in using online chemistry tools and applets
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the applets available at bpreid.com for interactive learning
  • Watch the video on 101science.com regarding Lewis dot structures
  • Research VSEPR theory in detail to understand molecular shapes
  • Study hybridization and its role in molecular geometry
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of molecular structures and Lewis dot diagrams.

Hi, I am not too sure about my lewis dot diagrams, can someone check them and let me know if anything is wrong with them, thanks.

Why don't you try Applets on chemistry? It even tells you where you are wrong.

edit: here's the address -http://www.bpreid.com/samples.html

whats that? is it a program? if so its not well know, nothing on Google related. can you post a link.

Yes it's a good link. I assumed that you know the theory of lewis dot structures, VSEPr and hybridisation. So the applets are merely prctice tools.
Anyways the SF6 structure is supposed to be octahedral.
 
no i just started it, but thanks for the help.
