Question

Lone pair in molecule exert greater solid angle than bond pair. explain?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion model is best used to explain why lone pair in molecules exert greater solid angle than bond pair.

• The VSEPR model determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of the species.

Total electron pair = Bond pair + Lone pair

• All the electron pairs (like charges) will orient themselves in such a way so as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them round an atom.
• There are three types of repulsion which are bond pair - bond pair, bond pair - lone pair and lone pair - lone pair.
• The repulsion determines the geometry of the covalent bonds around the central atom.
• As the number of lone pairs increases, the bond angle diminishes.
