What is VSEPR Theory: Molecular Shapes Explained about?
The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory explains that the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of valence shell electron pairs around the central atom, which repel each other to minimize repulsion. The theory categorizes molecular shapes based on the number of bond pairs and angles, with examples including linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral geometries. Additionally, multiple bonds are treated as single pairs, and the repulsive interactions
