D)bond type for a molecule
E)formula for a compound

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VSEPR theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory) is used to determine the shape of a molecule based on the arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom. It does not provide information about the charge on an ion, the color of a compound, the bond type for a molecule, or the formula for a compound.
