Making Molecules
Description
Visual representations of atoms bonding to form molecules-called Lewis structures-provide information to predict the three-dimensional shapes of molecules using valence shell electron pair repulsion ("VSEPR") theory. The shapes of molecules relates to the effectiveness of important antibiotics such as penicillin. Scientists can manipulate shapes of molecules to help design new cancer-treating drugs.
