Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
According to VSEPR theory,
A
the shape of the molecule depends upon the bonded electron pairs
B
pair of electrons attract each other in valence shells
C
the pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions that minimise repulsions
D
the pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions that minimise distances from each other.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
According to VSEPR theory, electron pairs around a central atom tend to arrange themselves as far apart as possible to minimize repulsion. This leads to specific molecular shapes.
