What does the term 'molecular geometry' refer to?
- The electronic structure of a molecule
- The pure connectivity of atoms within a molecule

Who were some of the early developers of theories of chemical structure?
Who were some of the early developers of theories of chemical structure?
- August Kekulé, Archibald Scott Couper, and Aleksandr Butlerov (correct)
- Louis Pasteur, Robert Boyle, and Antoine Lavoisier
- Marie Curie, Dmitri Mendeleev, and Linus Pauling
- John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, and Ernest Rutherford
What did the early theories of chemical structure state?
What did the early theories of chemical structure state?
- Chemical compounds are not a random cluster of atoms and functional groups, but rather had a definite order defined by the valency of the atoms composing the molecule (correct)
- Chemical compounds are solely determined by the molecular orbitals
- Chemical compounds have no definite order and are randomly composed of atoms and functional groups
- Chemical compounds are formed randomly based on the valency of the atoms
