I only got any correct because I checked out wikipedia before I took the quiz...I would have been completely lost otherwise.

Well done. I've felt sporcle is a vast untapped resource for students and teachers--compare a sporcler to the average person in geography knowledge, for example. I could have really used sporcle when it came to memorizing glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, kidney physiology, and so on.

maybe consider accepting square based pyramidal too for square pyramidal? That's what I've been taught it's called and as silly as it sounds I didn't think to take out the word based and didn't get that one. I'm probably not the only one who's been taught that name either. Really good quiz though, thank you, I'm just being picky sorry

Always known 'seesaw' as sawhorse. Might be a British thing.

i am a chemistry tutor, so for me, this was a dream quiz. VSEPR models and lewis structures are BY FAR my favorite topic in gen chem. that doesnt make me a nerd or anything, right?? :-)

Could you count ammonia as just pyramidal, since that is the common form of the shape?

The course I took only covered up to the octahedral family, so IF7 took me by surprise! I'm just really glad the diagram used dashes and wedges so that I could visualize it.
