Question 9

9.

VSEPR stands for ....

Question 10

10.

The VSEPR model is used mainly to

write resonance structures

measure intermolecular distances

determine molecular shape

determine ionic charge

Question 11

11.

The VSEPR model is based on the idea that

there is always an octet of electrons around an atom in a molecule

molecules repel one another

Bonding pairs and lone pairs repel each other as much as possible

electrons are attracted to the nucleus
