VSEPR Model
• Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model• a simple model that allows for the prediction
of the approximate molecular structure of a molecule
• 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.
