5. VSEPR Theory
• 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).
