Question

What is VSEPR theory?

Answer 1

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) is a molecular model to predict the geometry of the atoms making up a molecule where the electrostatic forces between a molecule's valence electrons are minimized around a central atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

VSEPR THEORY

(1). The shape of the molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs around the central atoms

(2). These pairs repel with each other

(3). These pairs tends to occupy at a maximum possible distance to minimise energy
