The correct answer is: Why molecules have different shapes.
The molecular geometry of CHCl3, according to VSEPR theory, is tetrahedral.
The molecular geometry of SO2 according to the VSEPR theory is bent.
the VSEPR theory
How atoms are arranged in a molecule.
According the VSEPR theory of molecular geometry, the geometry of SCl2 would be the same as H2O which is a bent angle
Electron pairs
VSEPR theory helps predict the molecular geometry of a molecule based on the arrangement of its electron pairs. Hybridization explains how atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals, which influences the molecular shape predicted by VSEPR theory. In essence, hybridization determines the geometry of a molecule based on the VSEPR theory.
VSEPR stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, and it describes how valence (bonding) electrons are arranged around an atom, and how they are used in creating a bond. This then can be used to help predict the GEOMETRIC SHAPE of the molecule being formed.
no, not all molecules obey the VSEPR theory, there is an exeption considered for the SIO2 molecules which obeys not the VSEPR theory
VSEPR is valence spin electron pair repulsion, and helps in describing the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry of a substance.
The molecular geometry of a molecule with the keyword "bro3" according to the VSEPR theory is trigonal pyramidal.
The theory that describes the way atoms are arranged within a molecule is called valence bond theory. This theory explains how covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms and how the arrangement of atoms in a molecule is determined by the overlap of atomic orbitals.
