Hope it help

(i) The shape of a molecule depends upon the no. of electron pairs around the centra atom. <br> (ii) There is a repulsive force between the electron pairs, which tend to repel one another. <br> (iii) The electron pairs in space tend to occupy such positions that they are at maximum distance, so that the repulsive force will be minimum. <br> (iv) A multiple bond is treated as ifit 1s a single bond and the remaining electron pairs which onstitute the bond may be regarded as single super pair.
