Front

Define 'bonded pairs' in molecular geometry.

Back

Bonded pairs refer to pairs of electrons that are shared between atoms in a molecule, forming covalent bonds.

Front

Define 'lone pairs' in molecular geometry.

Back

Lone pairs are pairs of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and do not participate in bonding.

Front

What is the VSEPR theory?

Back

VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory predicts the shape of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs.
