    What is vsepr theory ?


    It is based on the premise thet there is a
    repulsion between the pairs of valence electron
    in all atoms ,and the atoms will always tend to
    arrange themselves in a manner in which
    electron pair repulsion is minimalized. The
    arrangement of atoms determines the geometry
    of the resulting molecule.

    What is vsepr no?


    The vsepr no describe the shape of the molecule
    as in table below:-
    VSEP Number Shape of the Molecule

    2 Linear

    3 Trigonal Planar

    4 Tetrahedral

    5 Trigonal Bipyramidal

    6 Octahedral

    7 Pentagonal Bipyramidal

    Types of vsepr molecule:-


    1.linear molecule
    2.trigonal planar
    3.tetrahedral shape
    4trigonal bypyramid
    5.octahedral
    Predicting shape of molecule in vsepr
    theory:-
    1.the least electronegative atom must be
    selected as the central atom
    2.the total no of electron belonging to outermost
    shell of central atom must be counted.
    postulates of vsepr theory:-
    1.the total no of valence shell electron pair
    decide shape of molecules.
    2.the vsepr theory can be applied to each
    resonance structure of a molecule.
    Limitation of vsepr theory:-
    This theory fails to explain isoeletronic
    species.they may vary in
    Shape despite having same no of electron.
