VSEPR Intro CW

Front

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 the electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom.

Front

What determines the molecular shape according to VSEPR theory?

Back

The molecular shape is determined by the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom.
