    The document provides instructions for using a PhET simulation to determine the molecular geometry and electron geometry of various molecules. It includes a table to record the number of valence electrons, Lewis dot structure, molecular geometry, electron geometry, model bond angle from the simulation, real bond angle, and an image of the simulated model for each molecule. Examples are provided for H2O, CO2, and SO2 to demonstrate how to complete the table.

    Instructions:
    1. Open this file in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    2. Select “Comment” from the Tools tab at the top of the window.
    3. Calculate the number of valence electrons available for each molecule in the table. Show these calculations in the box provided.
    4. Draw the Lewis Dot Structure of each molecule in the box provided.
    5. Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/molecule-shapes/latest/molecule-shapes_en.html
    6. Select “Real Molecules” Simulation.
