    Gather together the following equipment: 6 small white Styrofoam balls, one large coloured ball, and 6 toothpicks. Complete the chart. Note: when building
    molecules use a large coloured Styrofoam ball as the central atom, small white balls as peripheral atoms, and toothpicks to represent bonds. If the molecule
    has resonance structures, draw these in the “Lewis structure” box (B), but build only one resonance structure for the “Build molecule” box (C). The bond
    angle for a tetrahedral molecule is 109.5°. Other bond angles can be calculated by correctly dividing the 360 degrees of a circle (look at your structure).

    Q2. For molecules that have names associated with their shapes, what is the minimum number of atoms a molecule must have? Explain
    3 (shapes refer to shapes around a central atom. For a “shape” to exist there must be at least 2 peripheral atoms, or 3 total atoms)
