Theory (VSEPR) is a model that describes the geometry of molecules.
VSEPR
THEORY
used to predict the shape of the molecules from the electron pairs surrounding the central atom.
used to predict the 3-molecular geometry
VSEPR THEORY
> Electron pair stay far from each other as possible to
MINIMIZE
REPULSION
>Molecular shape is determined by the number of
BOND
PAIRS
>Treating multiple bonds as
SINGLE
BONDS.

PAIRS
OF CENTRAL ATOM
STERIC NUMBER
Total number of atoms bonded to a central atom
FORMULA FOR STERIC NUMBER
Steric number= Lone pair of
Central
atom
+ Number of atoms
bonded
to the electron (counted as one)
Molecular
Polarity
Distribution of electrical charge over the atoms joined by the bond
Molecular Polarity
Distribution of electrical charge over the atoms joined by the bond
It relates to other physical properties ( boiling point, surface tension and etc.)
> Two electrically charged regions, a molecule with two poles is called a
DIPOLE
.
>Resulting from the unequal distribution of
electron
>
DELTA
(δ)- electric charge
Negative
Polarity-
most electrons
Positive
Polarity-
least electrons
