Question

what does the vsepr theory predict?
a. the size of a molecule
b. the charge of a molecule
c. the shape of a molecule
d. the chemical formula of a molecule

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory is used to predict the three - dimensional geometry (shape) of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom. It does not predict the size of a molecule (option A), the charge of a molecule (option B), or the chemical formula of a molecule (option D).

Answer:

C. The shape of a molecule
