Question

Explain the limitation of VSEPR theory?

Answer 1

❥ A᭄nswer✭࿐

Athough the VSEPR model is useful in predicting molecular geometry, it fails to predict the shapes of isoelectronic species and transition metal compounds. This model does not take relative sizes of substituents and stereochemically inactive lone pairs into account.
