•Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
•Rules for VSEPR theory
•The definite shape of any covalent molecule depends on the
number of pairs of electrons in the central atom
•Covalent bonds are formed due to the sharing of electrons and the
covalent bonds arrange themselves around the central atom.

•Electron pairs repel one another and arrange themselves as far
apart from each other as possible. An electron pair may be involved
in forming a bond, in which case the pair is called a BOND PAIR
(BP), or may not be involved, in which case the pair is called a
LONE PAIR (LP).
