Basic features of the VSEPR model should be explained. Also the reason for why the decreasing order of magnitude of repulsion is from lone pair - lone pair, then lone pair - bonding pair and finally bonding pair - bonding pair should be explained. Concept Introduction: Molecular geometry of a molecule can be predicted by valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model where atoms are arranged in such a way that the repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of electron on the central atom or ion should be minimalized. Because of this electrostatic repulsion there is some deviation in regular geometry. The decreasing order of magnitude of repulsion is, lone pair - lone pair, then lone pair - bonding pair and finally bonding pair - bonding pair

Solution Summary: The author explains the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model of a molecule.
Definition Definition Connection between particles in a compound. Chemical bonds are the forces that hold the particles of a compound together. The stability of a chemical compound greatly depends on the nature and strength of the chemical bonding present in it. As the strength of the chemical bonding increases the stability of the compound also increases.

Nitromethane is a polar molecule but contains 2 equal polar covalent bonds. Briefly explain why and draw a relevant 3-dimensional structure to show the overall dipole moment of the molecule.
can someone explain why this counts as fully conjugated? does the pos charge count as conjugation? I thought conjugation was sigma bond, pi bond, sigma bond, etc...
1. Conjugated radicals, ions, or molecules are more stable than non-conjugated ones, why?
2. Charge separation decreases stability, why?
3. Structures in which all of the atoms have a complete valence shell of electrons are especially stable and make large contributions to the hybrid, why?
