1.3 covalent bonding (c) Prediction of Molecular Shapes ( VSEPR Model )

the Lewis structure provide a simple way to predict the distribution of ——— and ——— in a molecule.

valence electrons, bond lengths

the Lewis structure provide a simple way to predict the ——- of valence electrons and bond lengths in a ——-.

distribution, molecule

Covalent molecules take on —— shapes that depend upon the number of bonds——- and the number of unshared electron pairs —— an atom.

definite, involved, around

Covalent molecules take on definite ——- that depend upon the number of —— involved and the number of ——— around an atom.

shapes, bonds, unshared electron pairs

the molecular shape in which the atoms and electron pairs exist in a ——— arrangement can be predicted by using the _________ ( VSEPR ) pronounce vesper theory.

three-dimensional, Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion

long form of VSEPR

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion

Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model in ——- used to predict the shape of ———-.

chemistry, covalent molecules

it is based on the idea that the ———- geometry of a molecule is mostly determined by the ——- interactions of the electron pairs around a central atom.

three-dimensional, repulsive

it is based on the idea that the three-dimensional geometry of a molecule is mostly determined by the repulsive interactions of the ——- around a central atom.

electron pairs

it is based on the idea that the three-dimensional geometry of a molecule is mostly determined by the repulsive interactions of the electron pairs around a ———.

central atom

VSEPR model assumes that the electron pairs will arrange themselves to ——- repulsion effects from one another.

minimise

VSEPR model assumes that the ——— will arrange themselves to ——- repulsion effects from one another.

electron pairs, minimise
