What does the VSEPR acronym stand for?
A.Valence shell electron pair repulsion
B.Valence shell electron pair resonance
C.Valence structure electron placement rule
D.Variable shell electron potential ratio
Explanation
Core Concept
VSEPR models shape by minimizing repulsion among valence-shell electron pairs, whether bonding or lone. That single idea predicts geometry across molecules.
Correct Answer
AValence shell electron pair repulsion
