Chemistry
  1. VSEPR Theory
    1. Molecular shape is dependent on the repulsions between electron pairs
      1. Two Electron Pairs: Linear Geometry
        1. Three Electron Pairs: Trigonal Planar Geometry
          1. Four Electron Pairs: Tetrahedral Geometry
            1. Five Electron Pairs: Trigonal BIpyramidal Geometry
              1. Six Electron Pairs: Octahedral Geometry
                1. 1. Draw the Lewis Structure
                  1. 2. Count the number of bonding and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom
                    1. 3. The magnitude of repulsion will vary on the Lone Pair- Bonded Pair electron arrangement.
