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 are repelled in VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
What is the predicted structure based on VSEPR theory for SiH4?
Tertahedral
According to the vsepr theory what molecular geometries are associated with AB2?
Linear
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
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 is kept as far apart as possible as molecules adjust their shapes according to the VSEPR theory?
According to VSEPR theory, molecules adjust their geometry to keep the electrons in valence shells as far apart from each other as possible.
Shapes adjust so valence electron pairs are as far apart as possible?
VSEPR theory
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 is describe by the VSEPR theory?
How atoms are arranged in a molecule.
What are the shapes of the following molecules using vsepr thory of BrF3and IF7?
IF7 is pentagonal bipyramidal
Why do covalent bonded molecules make a geometric shapes?
VSEPR-Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
What does the VSEPR theory redict?
The geometry of molecules. In this theory the valence electron pairs around an atom repel one another.
What is the relationship between the VSEPR theory and molecular shape?
In this theory, electron pairs in the central atom repell one another and tend to space themselves as far apart as they can. This spacing on a 3 dimensional model gives rise to the various shapes of molecules.
