Using the VSPER theory, the effect of lone pairs on molecular shape can be discussed.
There are 3 types of electron pairs present in a molecular shape: bond pair -bond pair, lone pair - bond pair, lone pair - lone pair.
Strength of repulsions between these three types of pair follows the order:
lone pair- lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair
Whenever there is an addition of lone pairs to the geometry, some distortions take place which decreases the bond angles and some asymmetry is attained in the original molecular shape.

Explanation:
To convert from moles to grams, we must find the molar mass.
1. Molar Mass
First, identify the elements in the compound. K₂CO₃ It has potassium, carbon, and oxygen. Find these elements and their masses on the Periodic Table.
- K: 39.098 g/mol
- C: 12.011 g/mol
- O: 15.999 g/mol
Note the subscript of 2 after K and 3 after O. We must multiply oxygen's molar mass by 2, then oxygen's by 3, and add carbon.
- 2(39.098 g/mol) + 3(15.999 g/mol) + 12.011 g/mol= 138.204 g/mol
2. Convert Moles to Grams
Use the molar mass as a fraction.
Multiply by the given number of moles: 6.2
There are <u>856.8648 grams</u> of potassium carbonate in 6.2 moles.
