NEET Chemistry VSEPR Theory MCQ Question
What does the VSEPR Theory primarily rely on to predict the geometry of molecules?
Repulsive interactions of electron pairs
Attractive forces between atomic nuclei
Hybridization of atomic orbitals
Presence of lone pairs only
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The VSEPR Theory is based on the repulsive interactions of electron pairs in the valence shell of atoms, which helps in predicting molecular geometry accurately.
