When the central atom of a molecule has unshared electrons the bond angles will?
When the central atom of a molecule has unshared electron, the bond angles will be less than when all the central atom's electrons are shared.
In a tetrahedral molecule how many unshared pairs of valence electrons does the central atom have?
None
How many unshared electrons and bonding electrons exist around the central atom in ozone O3?
two, six
Which shape has a central atom with one unshared pair of electrons?
When there are two atoms bonded to the central atom and no lone pairs, the molecule adopts a linear shape. When lone pairs are present, bent geometry can be present.
What is an incomplete octet?
B in BH3 has an incomplete octet because it only has 6 valence electrons. 3 of its own and 1 from each hydrogen The central atom does not have 8 valence electron in the molecule.

None
What causes water molecules to have a bent shape according to VSEPR threory?
Repulsion of the unshared electron pairs (2)and the bonded pairs (2) around the central oxygen atom. Repulsion of these 4 electron pairs attempts to form a tetrahedral shape. Describing the molecular shape, we ignore the unshared electrons and just describe the shape of the molecule based on the location of the atoms, thus bent.

What is Electron pair repulsions between two unshared pairs of electrons?
Lets look at a water molecule, H2O. The central atom is the larger oxygen atom, which has 6 electrons in its outer shell (and is therefore in the 6A column of the periodic chart). They divide into 4 orbitals, so 2 orbitals will have 2 electrons, and 2 will have just one. Those unpaired electrons share the electron of a hydrogen atom to form a water molecule. All of the electron pairs (whether shared or not) are negatively charged, and since like charges repulse, they are all trying to repulse each other. But the unshared electron pairs are a little stronger (they don't have a positively-charged hydrogen atom lurking around), and so they actuall shove the hydrogen atoms closer together than they would like to be, Just from the geolmetry, we'd expect the hydrogen bonds to be separated by an angle of 109 degrees, but the strong unshared electron pairs push them toward each other so that their angle is 105 degrees.

What determine the molecule geometry of a molecule?
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom
Determining the Electron group geometry of a central atom?
EGG=(#lone pair electrons)+(# of bond pair electrons)
Lone pair of electron?
Remember 1s2 2s2 2p6... If you draw an electron diagram(s 1 box, p3 boxes...) for an atom, you will find how many unpair electrons it has(unpaired electron:an electron that occupies an orbital of an atom singly, in the diagram, only 1 electron in a given box) Lone pair is the when you draw a bonding diagram, how many pairs the central atom has are how many pairs of lone pairs.
Predict the bond angle for the molecule h2s?
Polar bonds occur when the atoms that are bonded have an unequal sharing of electrons, they are not polar but just do not share electrons equally. Polar molecules occur when the molecule has polar bonds that are not equally distributed ie water is polar molecule because its polar bonds act at 104.5 degrees from one another whereas a molecule that was straight, 180 degrees, would not be polar due to the equal distribution of the bonds. A tetrahedral molecule has bonds going equally in four directions, therefore, no polar bond but ammonia which is trigonal pyramidal has three bonds acting downwards at 104 degrees from one another, therefore, it is a polar molecule.
The spatial arrangement of electrons groups around the central atom is called?
electron-group geometry
