VSEPR Model And Hybridization
VSEPR Model Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model a simple model that allows for the prediction of the approximate molecular structure of a molecule
Two Types of Geometry Electron Geometry: Based on position of bonding and lone electron pairs Molecular Geometry: Based on location of actual atoms in the molecule (bonding pairs)
Type of Electron Pair Matters! Lone pairs take up more space than bonded pairs. A bonding pair means there is an attached atom.
