Variable – Letter that represents a number.

I know I have to isolate X.

Fairy tales, myths, and legends.

Dynamic character: changes and usually learns something.

A character is a person or animal that takes part in the action of the story.

Must use characters from fairy tales discussed in class: “A Christmas Carol,” “Cinderella,” “Goldilocks,” and “Little Red Riding Hood.”

Static character: does not change during the story no matter what happens to them.

How do I identify characters from fairy tales as dynamic or static?

Focused notes from class.

trigonal planar - molecular geometry model with one atom at the center and three atoms at the corners of an equilateral triangle, called peripheral atoms, all in one plane.trigonal pyramidal - is a molecular shape that results when there are three bonds and one lone pair on the central atom in the molecule.


VSEPR Theory

VSEPR Theory is used to help determine the shapes of molecules. The shapes are determined by the number of unpaired electrons. How do you determine the shape of a molecule starting from its chemical formula?

VSEPR Theory stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.

VSEPR Theory is a model used to predict the geometry of molecules based on minimizing the electrostatic repulsion of a molecule’s valence electrons around a central atom.

formula provided (CO2 & H2O), but I don’t understand the trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, and tetrahedral shapes.

How do you use the chemical formula BF3 to draw the trigonal planar, NH3 to draw a trigonal pyramidal, and CH4 to draw a tetrahedral?
