What does the VSEPR theory describes?
VSEPR is valence spin electron pair repulsion, and helps in describing the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry of a substance.
What are the shapes of the following molecules using vsepr thory of BrF3and IF7?
IF7 is pentagonal bipyramidal
The number of possible different orbital shapes for the third energy level is?
The number of possible different orbital shapes for the third energy level is 3. For n equals 4 the number of possible orbital shape is 4.
Why do liquids have a tendency to acquire minimum surface area?
The molecules in a liquid (such as water) are attracted to each other by electrostatic force. As a result, they stick together, not to the extent that a solid does, but to some extent, and this causes them to contract into compact shapes when possible.
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
The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of the extensive presence of?
The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of carbon.
Shapes adjust so valence electron pairs are as far apart as possible?
VSEPR theory

What shapes do water molecules have?
The general shape is "bent".
Why it is important to know the shape of molecules in relation to their solubility in water?
Some shapes will allow many molecules to arrange around the water molecule while other shapes will not
What does VSEPR. Theory describe?
The correct answer is: Why molecules have different shapes.
What describes VSEPR theory?
The correct answer is: Why molecules have different shapes.
What different type of shapes can carbon molecules assume?
Carbon molecules can assume three types of shapes. These types are trigonal, linear, and tetrahedral, and can be found in every part of a person's daily life.
Why do clouds make shapes in the sky?
Clouds make shapes in the sky as water molecules gather and the wind blows and moves and spreads the cloud out. The thicker the cloud the more dense the water molecules are.
