The acronym VSEPR stand for
very strong electron pair repulsion.
varied symmetry electrostatic proton reaction.
venomous snakes enjoy pink ribbons.
valence shell electron pair repulsion.
VSEPR theory is used to predict
the number of unshared pairs of electrons in a Lewis structure.
the number of multiple bonds in a Lewis structure.
the three-dimensional geometry of a molecule.
the three-dimensional crystal lattice structure of ionic compounds.
Any molecule with only two atoms must be linear. Three-atom molecules such as BeCl2 can also be linear. For linear molecules, the bond angle is
360°
180°
120°
90°
