Answer 1

Answer:

The position of bounding atoms is determined by electron pair replusion.

Explanation:

A P E X

Answer 2

Answer:

to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule is related to the organization of the central atom's valence shell electrons. The valence shell electrons are all negatively charged and therefore are constantly repelling each other. This repulsion is what gives a molecule its three-dimensional shape.
