Molecule Geometry turns VSEPR practice into an interactive study tool. Rotate built-in molecules in 3D, or build your own from geometry templates by changing the central atom, ligands, and bond order with instant visual feedback. Study mode adds Quiz, Compare, and Guided Solver so you can practice instead of only browsing. Measure bond angles, show or hide dipoles, lone pairs, and bond types, inspect Lewis structures and resonance forms, and tap atoms to see the element name and formal charge. Save custom builds to your library, search by formula or name, and switch the interface language when you study. Great for class review, homework, and building intuition for geometry, polarity, hybridization, and electron-domain arrangement.
