Interpretation:
Basis of VSEPR model needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
When two atomic orbitals are mixed, formation of a hybrid orbital takes place. Dissimilar atomic orbitals undergo hybridization during

Answer to Problem 106A
Basis of VSEPR theory is repulsive character of electron pairs surrounding central metal atom.
Explanation of Solution
VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model) model is used to conclude molecular shape or geometry. This model is based on an adjustment which minimizes the repulsion of unshared and shared electron pairs about the central atom.
The shape of a molecule concludes its physical and chemical properties. The angle between three atoms with at least two bonds is termed as bond angle.
