Is so3 ionic or covalent compounds?
SO3 sulfur trioxide is covalent. There are S=O bonds and the molecule is trigonal planar as predicted by VSEPR.
What type of bonding is involved in the compound SiF4?
polar covalent - use the electronegativity difference
Can the VSEPR theory be used to predict the shapes of all molecule?
no, not all molecules obey the VSEPR theory, there is an exeption considered for the SIO2 molecules which obeys not the VSEPR theory
How does the VSEPR theory explain molecular shape?
Electron pairs repelling each other push atoms apart.
What is describe by the VSEPR theory?
How atoms are arranged in a molecule.

What are the number of single and double bonds in SO2 according to VSEPR theory?
VSEPR relates to electron pair repulsion -and uses this effect to predict molecular geometry. You need to determine the bonding using lewis dot diagrams or some other methodology first before using VSEPR
Which theory describe the way atoms are arranged within a molecule?
the VSEPR theory
What does vsepr theory tell us about a molecule?
VSEPR predict the geometry of a chemical molecule.
What is the vsepr theory used to predict?
According the VSEPR theory of molecular geometry, the geometry of SCl2 would be the same as H2O which is a bent angle
What are repelled in VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
What are repelled in the VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
What is repelled in the VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
