∙ 15y agoVSPER is based on experimental data. Is just a model to predict geometry not a theory.
To predict a geometry it says that the most stable geometry is where the electronic repulsions are weaker, so it proposes a geometry for every combinations of bonds and lone pairs.

∙ 10y agoThe premise of VSEPR is that the valence electron pairs surrounding an atom mutually repel each other, and will therefore adopt an arrangement that minimizes this repulsion, thus determining the molecular geometry.
