VSEPR theory is a model for predicting?
Positive ions in a crystal repel each other
Which theory describe the way atoms are arranged within a molecule?
the VSEPR theory
What VSEPR shape would CH3Cl have?
The shape of chloromethane is tetrahedral.
What are repelled in VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
What is the shape of H'M according to the VSEPR theory?
I don't know what "H'M" is supposed to be, so the question cannot be answered. Any binary compound is linear, because there's no other option; one doesn't really need VSEPR to predict that.
What is the molecular shape for Br2 in VSEPR theory?
It has a linear shape
What VSEPR shape does SiCl4 have?
SiCl2Br2 would take a tetrahedral shape according to the VSEPR theory.
What is the molecular shape of ClO3F as predicted by the VSEPR theory?
ClO3F would be tetrahedral.
What does the VSEPR theory tell about a molecule?
A. The geometry it will have
Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of the carbon tetraiodide molecule CI4?
Tetrahedral.
How does VSEPR theory predict molecular shape?
The position of bonding atoms is determined by electron pair repulsion.
VSEPR theory is a model for predicting?
Positive ions in a crystal repel each other
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.
The VSEPR theory allows us to determine the?
The VSEPR theory allows us to determine the molecular geometry of a molecule based on the number of electron pairs around the central atom. It helps predict the shape of molecules by minimizing electron pair repulsion. This theory is useful in understanding the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and their properties.
Why is the VSEPR theory not needed to predict the shape of HCl?
Because two atomic centres can only create a linear molecule.
