Interpretation: The Lewis electron dot structures for
Concept introduction:
Lewis dot structure: For a given molecule, the bonding concerning the atoms and also the lone pairs can be shown by the diagram.
In this structure a single bond is represented by one dot pair and double bond is represented by two dot pairs and so on.
VSEPR Theory [Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory]:
Geometry of the molecules can be predicted using VSEPR Theory. It is based on the number of electron pairs around the central atom of the molecule. Depending upon the bond pairs and lone pairs, geometries can be classified as linear, bent, pyramidal, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, octahedral and so on.
