Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VSEPR model predicts molecular shapes based on the repulsion between electron pairs around a central atom. For two electron pair domains, the shape is linear. For three, it's triangular planar. For four, it's tetrahedral. For five, it's triangular bipyramidal. And for six, it's octahedral.
