New cards
valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory
states that repulsion between the groups of valence-shell electrons surrounding a central atom causes them to arrange themselves as far apart as possible, determining the molecule's shape
2
New cards
steric number (SN)
used to predict a molecule's shape in VSEPR theory - equal to the number of peripheral atoms plus the number of central lone pairs
