Document Summary

Vespr theory to minimize repulsions, each group of valence electrons around a central atom is located as far away as possible from others: group any type of bond, electron pair, or single electron. Molecular shape 3d arrangement of nuclei joined by bonding groups. Electron group arrangements defined by bonding/nonbonding groups around the central atom. Molecular shape defined by position of nuclei. All shapes below occur if only bonding groups present. Same electron group arrangement can result in multiple molecular shapes. Bond angle angle formed by nucleus of 2 surrounding atoms. 3 electron groups around a central atom: all bonding groups, 1 lone pair; bent (v) shape. Lone pair repels bonding groups more than bonding pairs repel each other, decreasing angle between bonding pairs. Structures with 4 electron groups: all bonding groups, one lone pair (trigonal pyramidal shape, 2 lone pairs (bent or v shape) Repulsions from lone pairs make the bond angle between the bonded pairs smaller.
