A consequence of electron-pair repulsion around an atom is the determination of molecular geometry. According to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory, electron pairs, whether bonding or lone pairs, repel each other and adopt an arrangement that minimizes this repulsion. This results in specific shapes for molecules, such as linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral, which influence the molecule's physical and chemical properties.
The atoms sharing the electron pairs will spread out around the central atom.

Repulsion affect the geometry of a molecule.
Electron-pair repulsion results in the arrangement of electron pairs around an atom in a way that maximizes the distance between them. This leads to the formation of specific molecular geometries, which in turn influence the shape and properties of the molecule.

The electron valence shell is filled and as a consequence the atom is very unreactive.
