B)electron-electron attractive forces.
C)electron-electron repulsive forces.

E)electron-nucleus attractive forces.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VSEPR theory determines molecular geometry based on the electron-electron repulsive forces between bonding and non-bonding electron pairs around the central atom. This repulsion determines the shape of the molecule.
