Covalent and VSEPR Theory

Front

What is the definition of a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

What is VSEPR theory?

Back

VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory is a model used to predict the geometry of individual molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom.
