Explain the main postulate of the VSEPR model. List the five base geometries (along with bond angles) that most molecules or ions adopt to minimize electron-pair repulsions. Why are bond angles sometimes slightly less than predicted in actual molecules as compared to what is predicted by the VSEPR model?

What are the Miller indices for the plane shown below?
Assume we have to accommodate 18 million books, each of which has 1 billion characters. If each character can be written using 100atoms, and if the bulk atoms can be used, calculate the size of an object (in nanometers) that can accommodate all the 18 million books. Assume one atom occupies a space which is 0.25 nm in size

What is the Principle of Superposition?
1. Is there a difference in packing (coordination number) between these two types (FCC and HCP) of structures? 2. Look at the two structures. A small difference in arrangement of atoms causes a dramatic difference in the properties of FCC ductile metals and HCP brittle metals. Can you see it? Try to draw the differences (You can draw the 3-layers separately):
