question 14 1 pts
to determine the electron - pair geometry, regions of__________ about the central atom are counted, including single, double or triple bonds.
constructive interference
nuclear haze
electron density
destructive interference
In VSEPR theory, the first - step to determine electron - pair geometries is to draw the Lewis structure as it shows the bonding and non - bonding electron pairs around the central atom. To determine the electron - pair geometry, we count the regions of electron density around the central atom, where single, double, or triple bonds all count as one region of electron density.
