Hi, all - I've now got the prototype for my VSEPR learning module - see June 28th blog. You can try it out as a student and get a copy of it for yourself to see how it works from an instructor perspective. The instructions are given in the contents list. It is set to give the student 2 molecules that are simple octet violators - the molecules aren't rezzed yet. They will build themselves before the students' eyes using Hiro Sheridan's Molecular Rezzer. I plan then on giving the students an assignment sheet to:(1) rez the molecules/ions and take a picture of yourself with the molecule/ion.
(2) draw an appropriate dot stucture for the molecule.
(3) give the electronic and molecular geometry
(4) give the bond anges and the hybridization of the center atom.
