Molecular Shape & VSEPR Theory:
• VSEPR theory predicts molecule shape.
• Electron pairs are arranged around each atom
to maximise the angles between electron pairs.

Principles of VSEPR-Theory:
• The shape of the molecule is determined by the total no. and arrangement
of electron pairs around the central atom.
• Electron pairs around the central atom stay as far away from each other as
possible – decrease forces of repulsion.
• Lone pairs can result in distorted shape.
• Strength of repulsion between different electron pairs follow:
lone pair – lone pair > lone pair – bonded pair > bonded pair – bonded pair.
