Its actually called VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion). The theory is simply a model to describe how molecules are oriented in three dimensions. Like where each bong is pointing and where the electrons are. It goes on the basis that electrons will repel each other, and get as far away from each other as possible. Take for example methane (CH4). the carbon has 4 identical hydrogens attached to it, each with a single bond. The single bond means the carbon and hydrogen are sharing a pair of electrons. The electrons of each hydrogen will push the hydrogen apart, creating a tetrahedral shape. The VSEPR theory provides method for predicting this for all sorts of molecules. included in it is bond angles.
Google VSEPR if youre looking for more specific orientations (planar, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, square based pyramid, etc).
Kinetic Theory.
Kinetic Molecular Theory's abbreviation is KMT or sometimes KMTG when it is the abbreviation for Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gas
The Greeks had their own theory of the composition of the natural world, which involved the idea that everything was made up of four basic elements: earth, water, air, and fire. This theory was known as the theory of the four elements.
The phlogiston theory has been debunked by the discovery of oxygen. When materials burn, they combine with oxygen, not phlogiston as believed in the theory. The understanding of combustion and oxidation provided by oxygen led to the rejection of the phlogiston theory.
The statement "An atom consists of a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons" is best described as a theory in the field of atomic structure. The atomic theory explains the structure of atoms based on experimental evidence and scientific principles.
The VSPR and the Hybridization theory
The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory provides information about both molecular shape and molecular bonding. It helps predict the geometric shapes of molecules based on the arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom and takes into account the repulsion between electron pairs to determine the overall molecular shape.
The VSEPR shape of thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is trigonal pyramidal. This is because the central sulfur atom has four electron domains (two bonding pairs and two lone pairs), resulting in a bent molecular geometry with a lone pair occupying one of the corners.
It is a scientific theory
