Gilbert Lewis followed by Linus Pauling who is credited with the quantum mechanical approach, called valence bond theory (distinguishing it from the more recent molecular orbital theory), which is based on Lewis's electron pair bonding theory now taught as Lewis "dot" diagrams.


Use Lewis structures and vsepr theory to determine which ch4 and ch3cl are polar and non-polar?

CH3Cl is polar, CH4 is not. You'll have to do your own Lewis structures, and I'm personally a little mystified as to exactly what VSEPR has to do with it (if you were comparing CH4 with NH3 instead, then you'd need VSEPR).
