VSEPR Theory Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
VSEPR Theory Predicts the molecular shape of a bonded molecule Electrons around the central atom arrange themselves as far apart from each other as possible Unshared pairs of electrons (lone pairs) on the central atom repel the most So only look at what is connected to the central atom
These are for molecules with only paired electrons around the central atom.
Linear 2 atoms attached to center atom 0 unshared pairs (lone pairs) Bond angle = 180 o Type: AB 2 Ex. : BeF 2
Linear BeH2 CO2
Trigonal Planar 3 atoms attached to center atom 0 lone pairs Bond angle = 120 o Type: AB 3 Ex. : AlF 3
Trigonal Planar BCl3 BH3
Tetrahedral 4 atoms attached to center atom 0 lone pairs Bond angle = o Type: AB 4 Ex. : CH 4
Tetrahedral PO4
Trigonal Bipyramidal 5 atoms attached to center atom 0 lone pairs Bond angle = – equatorial -> 120 o – axial -> 90 o Type: AB 5 Ex. : PF 5
Trigonal Bipyramidal PCl5
Octahedral 6 atoms attached to center atom 0 lone pairs Bond angle = 90 o Type: AB 6 Ex. : SF 6
These are for molecules with both paired and unshared (lone) pairs of electrons around the central atom.
Bent/Angular 2 atoms attached to center atom 1 or 2 lone pairs of electrons Bond angle = o Type: AB 2 E 2 Ex. : H 2 O
Bent/Angular NO2
Trigonal Pyramidal 3 atoms attached to center atom 1 lone pair Bond angle = 107 o Type: AB 3 E Ex. : NH 3
Trigonal Pyramidal PCl3
