Positive ions in a crystal repel each other
The shape of molecules
the VSEPR theory
VSEPR - valence shell electron pair repulsion theory Hybridisation- e.g. Sp, Sp2, sp3, Sp3d2 etc Hybridisation predicts regular geometries-- VSEPR has the advantage of predicting how bond angles may deviate from the regular geometries.
Electron pairs
The Valence shell electron pair repulsion, or VSEPR is a simple technique for predicting the shape or geometry of atomic centers. The VSEPR formula is used in small molecules and molecular ions.
VSEPR only shows the geometric shape of the element
VSEPR theory
The standard model.
no, not all molecules obey the VSEPR theory, there is an exeption considered for the SIO2 molecules which obeys not the VSEPR theory
How atoms are arranged in a molecule.
VSEPR is a conceptual model, as it has not been directly observed.
The VSEPR model is used mainly to determine molecular shape.
the VSEPR theory
VSEPR predict the geometry of a chemical molecule.

According the VSEPR theory of molecular geometry, the geometry of SCl2 would be the same as H2O which is a bent angle
