Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.1QE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The postulates of VSEPR model has to be explained.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The postulates of VSEPR theory are,
- 1. The Valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory is proposed based on the premise that electron pairs of an atom or molecule repel each other to the point where the electron pairs are as far as possible from each other. It tends for minimal electrostatic repulsion in order to predict the stable geometry for a molecule.
- 2. The electron pairs are of two types, bonded pair and lone pair and the forces of electron pair repulsions vary. The lone pair-lone pair repulsions are greater than lone pair-bonded pair repulsions, which are greater than bonded pair-bonded pair repulsions.
