Question

Explain the formation of molecules with two bond pairs based on VSEPR theory ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbon atom forms two double bonds. Each double bond is a group, so there are two electron groups around the central atom. ... VSEPR only recognizes groups around the central atom. Thus the lone pairs on the oxygen atoms do not influence the molecular geometry.

Answer 2

Answer:

The VSEPR theory assumes that each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of that atom.
