Step 1: VSEPR theory for detailing about structure and other property of molecules

The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the molecular geometry and some properties of molecules based on the arrangement of valence electron pairs around a central atom. Here are the key principles and how they relate to molecular structure and properties:

  1. Molecular Geometry
  2. Bond Angles
  3. Molecular Shape
  4. Polarity
  5. Chemical Reactivity
  6. Physical Properties
