Chemistry
VSEPR Theory
Molecular shape is dependent on the repulsions between electron pairs
Two Electron Pairs: Linear Geometry
Three Electron Pairs: Trigonal Planar Geometry
Four Electron Pairs: Tetrahedral Geometry
Five Electron Pairs: Trigonal BIpyramidal Geometry
Six Electron Pairs: Octahedral Geometry
1. Draw the Lewis Structure
2. Count the number of bonding and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom
3. The magnitude of repulsion will vary on the Lone Pair- Bonded Pair electron arrangement.
