The molecular geometry, or three-dimensional shape of a molecule or polyatomic ion, can be determined using valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (abbreviated VSEPR and pronounced “VES-per”) theory, in which the basic principle is valence electrons around a central atom stay as far apart as possible to. minimize the repulsions.

2 Δεκ 2019 · As a rule of thumb, the presence of a lone pair in a shape will reduce the bond angle between the bonding pairs by 2 to 2.5o. At A-level, the most common shapes that include lone pairs are the following two shapes where lone pairs in place of bonding pairs in a tetrahedral shape.
Summary VSEPR and Hybridization Table. Electron Domains. Electron-Domain Geometry. Predicted Bond Angle(s) Hybridization of Central Atom.
All bonds are represented in this table as a line whether the bond is single, double, or triple. Any atom bonded to the center atom counts as one domain, even if it is bonded by a double or triple bond. Count atoms and lone pairs to determine the number of domains, do not count bonds.
Using the VSEPR Chart to Determine Shape and Bond Angle. To use a VSEPR table, first determine the coordination number or number of electron pairs. Count the valence electrons of the central atom. Add an electron for each bonding atom.
Molecules with ≥ 1 NB pairs and only single bonds. The geometry of the regions of electron density is roughly the same as what we see when no NB pairs are involved. However, the shape of the molecule is determined by looking at only the bonding pairs, NOT the non-bonding pairs. Example: NH3.
