Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The geometry of hydronium ion needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The arrangement of electron pairs is identified according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory wherein all the electron pairs are aligned in such a way that they are at maximum distance from each other. The structure of every molecule in VSEPR is explained by considering the steric number (combination of lone pairs and σ -bonds involved in molecule).
