VSEPR stands for valence shell electron pair theory, and it is a very important model for predicting the geometric structure of molecules. In this webinar, we will review the basics of VSEPR, orbitals shapes, hybridization, and how VSEPR can be used to understand bonding and simple organic chemistry mechanisms that involve tetrahedral intermediates.  Tune in to learn about one of the most important theories of atomic chemistry!

  • Electronic versus molecular geometries

  • Orbital hybridizations

  • Common biologically relevant orgo mechanisms that go through tetrahedral intermediates

On the MCAT

  • VSEPR and orbital hybridizations go hand in hand. The test likes to ask about these straightforward concepts in confusing and layered ways (two questions in one).

  • Be comfortable applying VSEPR concepts to biologically relevant chemical structures and orgo mechanisms

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
