FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What determines the shape of a molecule?
Back
The shape of a molecule is determined by the number of electron groups (bonding and lone pairs) around the central atom, according to the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is VSEPR theory?
Back
VSEPR theory states that electron groups around a central atom will arrange themselves to minimize repulsion, leading to specific molecular shapes.
