What else can I help you with?
Which theory describe the way atoms are arranged within a molecule?
the VSEPR theory
What 2 theories can be used to predict molecular geometry?
VSEPR - valence shell electron pair repulsion theory Hybridisation- e.g. Sp, Sp2, sp3, Sp3d2 etc Hybridisation predicts regular geometries-- VSEPR has the advantage of predicting how bond angles may deviate from the regular geometries.
What are repelled in VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
What compound would have a vsepr formula in AX3?
The Valence shell electron pair repulsion, or VSEPR is a simple technique for predicting the shape or geometry of atomic centers. The VSEPR formula is used in small molecules and molecular ions.
What is the definition of VESPR Theory?
VSEPR theory stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory. It is a model used to predict the geometry of molecules based on minimizing the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell of an atom. By considering the repulsions between electron pairs, VSEPR theory helps determine the shape of molecules.
What is a visual model of molecular geometry?
VSEPR theory
Is the VSEPR mode a physical model a conceptual model?
VSEPR is a conceptual model, as it has not been directly observed.
What is the molecular geometry of CHCl3 according to VSEPR theory?
The molecular geometry of CHCl3, according to VSEPR theory, is tetrahedral.
What is the molecular geometry of SO2 according to the VSEPR theory?
The molecular geometry of SO2 according to the VSEPR theory is bent.
What is vsepr model mainly used for?
The VSEPR model is used mainly to determine molecular shape.
Which theory describe the way atoms are arranged within a molecule?
the VSEPR theory
How is VSEPR theory helpful?
Valence shell electron pair theory is useful in predicting the shapes of molecules. All that is done is to count the number of electron pairs around an atom and then work out the shape as the pairs of electrons repel each other. 2 pairs linear 3 pairs trigonal planar 4 pairs tetrahedral etc

What is the vsepr theory used to predict?
According the VSEPR theory of molecular geometry, the geometry of SCl2 would be the same as H2O which is a bent angle
What are repelled in VSEPR theory?
Electron pairs
What is the relationship between VSEPR theory and hybridization in molecular geometry?
VSEPR theory helps predict the molecular geometry of a molecule based on the arrangement of its electron pairs. Hybridization explains how atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals, which influences the molecular shape predicted by VSEPR theory. In essence, hybridization determines the geometry of a molecule based on the VSEPR theory.
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
