Question
what does vsepr theory stand for?
valence-shell electron pair rotation
valence-shell electron pair repulsion
valence-shell electron pair reaction
valence-shell electron pair redistribution
VSEPR theory is a model in chemistry used to predict the geometry of individual molecules based on the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. The key concept is that electron pairs (both bonding and non - bonding) repel each other. The name of the theory directly reflects this repulsion concept.
