Question
Chapter 3, Problem 84P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The shape of a molecule in which the central atom is surrounded by five regions of electron density should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
VSEPR (Valence-shell electron-pair repulsion model) is used to predict the shapes of molecules. It has a set of rules to predict the shape. This model assumes that each atom in a molecule will be in geometry in such a way that it minimizes the repulsion.
