What is VSEPR Theory: Molecular Shapes Explained about?
The VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) model is a simple model for predicting the shapes of molecules based on electron-pair repulsions. It states that the geometry around a central atom is determined by two principles - electron pairs surrounding the central atom repel each other and adopt a geometry that maximizes their distance. Bonding pairs, nonbonding pairs, and multiple bonds all exert different levels of repulsion, in decreasing order, which influences the molecular geometry. The model ca
