Concept introduction:
Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) is a model that is used for predicting the shape of the molecule.
Steps to predict the shape of molecule are as follows:
First identify the number of valence electrons in central atom.
Calculate the number of nonbonded pair of electrons and bond pair of electrons and then find number of electrons domains for the central atom.
Then predict the molecular geometry or shape of the molecule using VSEPR model.

The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.
