Octahedral

Front

What is the effect of lone pairs on molecular shape?

Back

Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs, affecting the overall shape.

Front

What is the VSEPR theory?

Back

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory; it predicts the shape of molecules based on electron pair repulsion.

Front

How does the presence of lone pairs influence bond angles in a molecule?

Back

Lone pairs can reduce bond angles between bonding pairs due to their stronger repulsion.
