The shape of the molecule depends on the _______(a) adjacent atom(b) valence electrons(c) surroundings(d) atmosphereThis question was posed to me in an online interview.This question is from Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory topic in division Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (b) valence electrons

Easy explanation: As the postulate of Valence SHELL Electron PAIR Repulsion Theory (VSEPR), the shape of the molecule depends on the number of valence shell electron PAIRS AROUND the atom (both BONDED and non-bonded).
