Introduction This topic is about the shapes of simple covalent molecules and how their shapes can be deduced from Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (sometimes called Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory).

The traditional approach to explain those differences is VSEPR theory.

This is an exception to VSEPR theory which would predict a linear structure.

This is an illustration of the VSEPR theory.

This shows that VSEPR theory may not be consistent for the superheavy elements.

Describe the molecular shape as predicted by VSEPR theory.

The octet rule and VSEPR theory are two examples.

The linear shape of the monomeric form is as predicted by VSEPR theory.

The molecule is tetrahedral, as predicted by VSEPR theory.

This geometry conforms with the predictions of VSEPR theory.

Lone pairs are a concept used in VSEPR theory which explains the shapes of molecules.

The description of structure includes common shapes of molecules based on VSEPR theory.

Structures are easily predicted by VSEPR theory.

Its D symmetry conforms with the prediction of VSEPR theory.

The structures for the phosphorus chlorides are invariably consistent with VSEPR theory.

It has an unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure, as predicted by VSEPR theory.

VSEPR theory predicts a bent-T-shaped molecular geometry for the group 17 trifluorides.

Helps students understand Lewis diagrams and VSEPR theory.

VSEPR theory in chemistry, often pronounced "Vesper"

In VSEPR theory, a double bond or triple bond are treated as a single bonding group.

The VSEPR theory predicts that lone pairs repel each other, thus pushing the different atoms away from them.

Unlike VSEPR theory, the Kepert model does not account for non-bonding electrons.

These ideas were later developed into the VSEPR theory by Gillespie and Nyholm.

The geometry is common for certain main group compounds that have a stereochemically active lone pair, as described by VSEPR theory.

Key words: chemical bonding, kinetic-energy density, localized-electron locator, VSEPR theory.

The compound shows a trigonal bipyramidal pseudostructure or a linear real structure in VSEPR theory.
