Concept introduction:
VSEPR theory stands as Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory. It helps to predict the molecular shape or geometry of the molecule with the help of the number of bond pairs or lone pairs present in it. According to the VSEPR theory, the presence of lone pair on the central atom of molecule causes deviation from standard molecular geometry. This is because of the repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of the central atom of the molecule. The order of repulsion is:
Lone pair-lone pair > lone pair-bond pair > bond pair-bond pair
Based on the number of lone pairs and bond pairs, the molecular geometry can be determined with the help of below table.
| Number of hybridization | Bond pair | Lone pair | Geometry |
| 2 | 2 | 0 | Linear |
| 2 | 1 | 1 | Linear |
| 3 | 3 | 0 | Trigonal planar |
| 3 | 2 | 1 | Bent |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | Tetrahedral |
| 4 | 3 | 1 | Trigonal pyramidal |
