NEET Chemistry VSEPR Theory MCQ Question
What does the VSEPR Theory primarily depend on to determine the shape of a molecule?
The number of valence shell electron pairs around the central atom.
The type of bonds formed between atoms in the molecule.
The electronegativity differences between the bonded atoms.
The molecular weight of the compound involved.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The VSEPR Theory states that the shape of a molecule depends on the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded or nonbonded) around the central atom, as highlighted in the NCERT context.
