Which theory describe the way atoms are arranged within a molecule?
the VSEPR theory
Electrons paths cannot be predicted?
no. the current theory is that the electrons move randomly in the outer most part of a molecule in part called the "electron cloud" which is just swirling mass of electrons with no predictable path
What do the electrons of one bond do to the electrons of the other?
Assuming you mean the bonds around a central atom attaching it to other atoms. The electron pairs in one bond (or lone pair) repel the electrons in the other bonds (this is due to Pauli exclusion principle). This is the basis for VSEPR theory (Gillespie- Nyholm theory)
Are electrons shared equally in NH3?
from wikipediaYESThe ammonia molecule has a trigonal pyramidal shape with a bond angle of 107.8°, as predicted by the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory). The central nitrogen atom has five outer electrons with an additional electron from each hydrogen atom. This gives a total of eight electrons, or four electron pairs that are arranged tetrahedrally. Three of these electron pairs are used as bond pairs, which leaves one lone pair of electrons. The lone pair of electrons repel more strongly than bond pairs, therefore the bond angle is not 109.5°, as expected for a regular tetrahedral arrangement, but is measured at 107.8°.
How do electrons move in and fill the orbitals and levels according to modern quantum theory?
Because I'm good at black ops 2
According to VSPER theory the outside atoms in a simple molecule will be arranged so that?
According to VSPER theory the outer atoms around a central atom arrange themselves as far as possible.
According to VSEPR theory an AB2 molecule is?

What is kept as far apart as possible as molecules adjust their shapes according to the VSEPR theory?
According to VSEPR theory, molecules adjust their geometry to keep the electrons in valence shells as far apart from each other as possible.
According to modern atomic theory what can move from one energy level to another?
Electrons:)
What is the function of the lone pair electrons in the molecules?
In terms of struture, lone pairs contribute helping a molecule acquire a shape as dictated by VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory). Regarding chemical properties lone pair/s of electrons can make a molecule act as a Lewis base (like ammonia) in the reaction mixtures the extent of which depends on various other features in the structure of molecule.
What theory of atomic structure described electrons as moving around a central nucleus similar to the solar system?
the bohr model
What should electrons do according to classical macroeconomic theory?
none of the above. or all of the above for plato!

How are materials divided into conductors insulators and semi conductors according to the atomic theory?
by their ability to accept electrons
