VSEPR theory predicts molecular geometry from electron domains: electron-pair repulsion minimizes; determines molecular properties.
Guia passo a passo
- 1Input central atom and bonding
- 2Count bonding + lone pair electron domains
- 3Predict geometry and bond angles
Exemplos resolvidos
Entrada
H₂O: C = 2 bonds + 2 lone pairs = 4 domains, tetrahedral electron domain, bent molecular, 104.5° angle
Resultado
Polar molecule due to bent geometry
Erros comuns a evitar
- ✕Confusing electron domain geometry with molecular geometry
- ✕Not counting lone pairs
Perguntas frequentes
Why do lone pairs matter?
Lone pairs occupy more space than bonds; repel more strongly, affecting bond angles.
