Share:
- 1The pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions in space that maximize the repulsion between them.✓
- 2Pairs of electrons in the valence shell of the central atom repel one another.
- 3The repulsive interaction of electron pairs decreases in the order: Lone pair-Lone pair > Lone pair-Bond pair > Bond pair-Bond pair.
- 4The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded or non-bonded) around the central atom.
Correct answer
The pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions in space that maximize the repulsion between them.
