    This document provides a guided exercise on drawing VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) structures for various molecules. It instructs students to draw Lewis diagrams, count bonds and lone pairs around central atoms, identify the molecular geometry based on the number of bonds and lone pairs, and draw the VSEPR structure. Examples included are SbH3 as a pyramidal structure, Si2H4 with two different central atoms, linear CO2, and trigonal planar SCl2. The document tests the skills learned by having students draw the VSEPR structures for additional molecules: N2H4, PI3, H2Te, CS2, and CH3OH.
