Which statement best captures the fundamental idea behind VSEPR theory? Explain what is wrong with the statements you do not choose.
a. The angle between two or more bonds is determined primarily by the repulsions between the electrons within those bonds and other (lone pair) electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Each of these electron groups (bonding electrons or lone pair electrons) lowers its potential energy by maximizing its separation from other electron groups, thus determining the geometry of the molecule.
b. The angle between two or more bonds is determined primarily by the repulsions between the electrons within those bonds. Each of these bonding electrons lowers its potential energy by maximizing its separation from other electron groups, thus determining the geometry of the molecule.
c. The geometry of a molecule is determined by the shapes of the overlapping orbitals that form the chemical bonds. Therefore, to determine the geometry of a molecule, you must determine…
