PREDICTING THE GEOMETRY OF MOLECULES
1. derive Lewis structure of the molecule 2. discriminate between bonding and non-bonding electron pairs O H 3. VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION
3
2. electrons repel each other
VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION VSEPR 1. identify in a compound the central atom 2. electrons repel each other 3. valence electron pairs stay as far apart as possible 4. non-bonding electrons repel more than bonding electrons
4
central atom no non-bonding pairs non-bonding pairs
