Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Chapter 8, Problem 106A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Basis of VSEPR model needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

When two atomic orbitals are mixed, formation of a hybrid orbital takes place. Dissimilar atomic orbitals undergo hybridization during chemical bonding.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 106A

Basis of VSEPR theory is repulsive character of electron pairs surrounding central metal atom.

Explanation of Solution

VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model) model is used to conclude molecular shape or geometry. This model is based on an adjustment which minimizes the repulsion of unshared and shared electron pairs about the central atom.

Conclusion

The shape of a molecule concludes its physical and chemical properties. The angle between three atoms with at least two bonds is termed as bond angle.
