State
This capstone traces one molecule from its Lewis structure through its VSEPR geometry to its final polarity classification, showing that polarity is the predictable end of a structural chain rather than a fact to memorize per molecule.
Watch for
Assuming a linear molecular geometry always traces back to a linear electron-pair geometry, rather than checking whether lone pairs occupy positions that leave only the bonded atoms in a line, misses cases like XeF2 entirely.
