The concept of valence-shell electron-pair repulsion
(VSEPR) is presented in introductory organic chemistry
as a way to predict molecular geometries. The idea be-
hind VSEPR is that areas of electron density repel each
other so that the geometry of bonds and/or lone pairs
of electrons around any one atom places these areas as
far apart as possible. For four areas of electron density,
a tetrahedral geometry is predicted. For three areas of
electron density, a trigonal planar geometry is predicted.
Two areas of electron density lead to a linear geometry.
VSEPR is simply a predictive tool, but in some
cases, it gives an incorrect prediction. In these
instances, additional insights into bonding are
necessary, such as resonance. Interestingly, several
important situations are critical to biochemistry where
VSEPR breaks down. Two examples are shown here.
