VSEPR theory

Intoduction  What is VSEPR Theory, and how does it work?  The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR theory) relies on the idea that there is repulsion between the valence electron pairs surrounding an atom . Therefore, they will adopt configurations that minimize this repulsion. Therefore, the molecule loses energy and becomes more stable, which […]

The VSEPR model calculates the valence shell electron bond pairs amongst atoms in a molecule or ion to predict 3-D molecular shape. As per the model, the electron pairs will arrange themselves in such a way as to reduce mutual repulsion. To put it another way, the electron pairs are as far apart as they
