1) The document discusses molecular geometry and polarity. It defines molecular geometry as the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
2) Lewis electron dot structures are used to represent valence electrons around atoms. The octet rule states that atoms gain, share, or transfer electrons to achieve a stable 8 electron configuration.
3) Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory predicts molecular shapes based on the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs around a central atom. Symmetric shapes are nonpolar while asymmetric shapes are polar due to unequal electron sharing.
