VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION THEORY.
explains the shapes of simple ions and molecules. Pairs of electrons arrange themselves around the central atom so that they are as far apart from each other as possible. Pairs of electrons spread out because they are trying to minimize the repulsion (this is due to the Law of Electric Charges) |
