VSEPR Theory
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 mol..

Problem
9. Predict the shape of a molecule of beryllium chloride molecule following the VSEPR theor..
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..
Shapes
Structure of interhalogen compounds 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 3 d hybrid..
