VSEPR means this: electrons repel each other (that’s the E and the R) because of the electrostatic force. This repulsion dictates the arrangement or geometry of atoms within molecules.

Molecular Geometry: Get to know what molecular geometry is and its types. Students check the postulates of the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory.

Six balloons tied together in a bunch arrange themselves in an octahedral fashion. As balloons are popped the resulting number conforms to the molecular shapes of VSEPR theory. To Conduct ...
