How does VSEPR help determine the shape of the molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B) The shape of the molecule is determined by the valence electrons of the different atoms within a molecule repelling each other, so the atoms are as far apart as possible from any other valence shell.

Explanation:

VSEPR denotes Valence Electron Pair Repulsion.

It is one of the theories used to predict the model of a compound or molecule.

  • An atom bonded by two or more other kinds of atoms as in many covalent molecules and ions have their geometry determined by the bonds around the central atom.
  • The VESPR theory determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of a specie.
  • The electron pairs orients in such a way as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them.

Answer:

Electrolysis (of hydrochloric acid) is a way of splitting up (decomposition) of the compound (hydrogen chloride in water) using electrical energy.

Explanation:

The electrical energy comes from a d.c. (direct current) battery or power pack supply. A conducting liquid, containing ions, called the electrolyte (hydrochloric acid), must contain the compound (hydrogen chloride) that is being broken down.
