Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The shape of molecules from VSEPR theory is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
VSEPR theory is used for predicting the shape of molecules.
VSEPR theory is fixated on the idea that electron groups - lone pair, single bond or multiple bond - repel each other.
