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
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).
