  • Did you know that geometry was invented by molecules? It's true! Until the first stars went supernova and littered all the elements across the cosmos, everything was simply spheres, from protons to stars. But then, under cooler planetary conditions, atoms came together to form molecules, and in doing so, they created the first shapes the universe had ever seen. Learn about the different shapes that molecules can make!

    I personally think Professor Dave videos are better than Crash Course.
    Crash Course is distracting and fast, while Professor Dave explains and reviews.
    Thanks Dave!

    I've always learned and have been taught the the lone pair repel more than shared pairs which accounts for the difference in the molecular geometry from the electron geometry. Not because the lone pairs take up less space.
    But a good job explaining electron geometry.
