_____ is based on the idea that the negative charges of bonding electrons and lone pair electrons in a molecule repel each other.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VSEPR theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory) states that the arrangement of atoms in a molecule is determined by the repulsion of the bonding electrons and lone pair electrons in the valence shell of the central atom. This theory helps to predict the shape and molecular geometry of molecules.
