Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory
The VSEPR theory, proposed by R.J.Gillespie and R.S. Nyholmm in 1957, is based on the repulsions between the electron-pairs in the valence-shell of the atoms in the molecule. It was developed to predict the shapes of the molecules in which the atoms are bonded together wit..
Problem
9. Predict the shape of a molecule of beryllium chloride molecule following the VSEPR theory..
Solution
According to the VSEPR theory, the electron pairs present is the valence-shell of the central atom/ion arrange themselves in the space around it so as to keep them as far as possible from each other, so as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion..

The molecular structure of interhalogen compounds can be explained on the basis of VSEPR theory. The structures of a few interhalogens are shown in figure. Structure of interhalogen compounds It may be noted than in general, the central halogen atom assumes: a) sp ..

Very good, Tutor was clear and guided me through the whole algebra problems
This Tutor Vista is GREAT! loved this session, it helped me heaps.
Thank you very much for helping to me is very important to have my lessons. Because you manage to take good notes in school thank you Tutor Vista
i loved the session... she was a great tutor.. she helped me alot and now i have a good understanding of fractions.. thank you! :)
