Question

Electron pairs repel, molecules adjust their shapes so that valence electron pairs are as far apart as possible

A) Valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory(VSEPR)
B) Electrical Conductivity
C) Lewis Dot Structures
D) Roman numerals

Answer 1

A - VSEPR

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept being explained here is VSEPR theory, which helps explain molecular geometry. In this theory, electron domains (electron pairs and bonds) repel, so the electron domains are arranged where they are far away from each other. Electron pairs are more repulsive than bonds, and thus will orient themselves such that they are not close to one another.
