Explanation:
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. ... Repulsion between these pairs of electrons can be minimized by arranging them so that they point in opposite directions

Explanation:
Postulates of VSEPR Theory:
In polyatomic molecules (i.e. molecules made up of three or more atoms), one of the constituent atoms is identified as the central atom to which all other atoms belonging to the molecule are linked.
The total number of valence shell electron pairs decides the shape of the molecule.
