What is VSEPR Theory: Key Concepts and Shapes about?

1) Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory predicts the shapes of covalent molecules based on the idea that electron pairs around a central atom will arrange themselves to be as far apart from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. 2) The theory assumes that bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons surrounding an atom will position themselves at maximum distances from each other. It also assumes that lone pairs take up more space than bonding pairs. 3) Using VSEPR theory, the shape
