geometrical shapes of molecules
« on: March 27, 2012, 08:17:56 PM »
does anybody know a good source for geometrical shapes of molecules ? my textbook has a lot of beautiful pictures, but i don't need pictures. i want more examples and detailed explanations.

thanks.

Look into things like VSEPR theory, or similar.

Any organic and inorganic textbook that I know give examples of shapes of molecules (including crystals). I do not know what you mean by "detailed explanations". If you mean geometrical parameters, they usually give relevant angles and bond distances.
