VSEPR Theory

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion

VSEPR Theory

• Predicts the molecular shape of a bonded molecule

• Electrons around the central atom arrange themselves as far apart from each other as possible

• Unshared pairs of electrons (lone pairs) on the central atom repel the most

• So only look at what is connected to the central atom

These are for molecules with only paired electrons around

the central atom.

Linear

• 2 atoms attached to center atom• 0 unshared pairs (lone pairs)

• Bond angle = 180o

• Type: AB2

• Ex. : BeF2

Linear

• BeH2

• CO2

Trigonal Planar

• 3 atoms attached to center atom• 0 lone pairs

• Bond angle = 120o

• Type: AB3

• Ex. : AlF3

Trigonal Planar

• BCl3

• BH3

Tetrahedral

• 4 atoms attached to center atom• 0 lone pairs

• Bond angle = 109.5o

• Type: AB4

• Ex. : CH4

Tetrahedral

• PO4

Trigonal Bipyramidal

• 5 atoms attached to center atom• 0 lone pairs

• Bond angle = – equatorial -> 120o

– axial -> 90o

• Type: AB5

• Ex. : PF5

Trigonal Bipyramidal

• PCl5

Octahedral

• 6 atoms attached to center atom• 0 lone pairs

• Bond angle = 90o

• Type: AB6

• Ex. : SF6

These are for molecules with both paired and unshared (lone) pairs of electrons

around the central atom.

Bent/Angular

• 2 atoms attached to center atom• 1 or 2 lone pairs of electrons

• Bond angle = 104.5o

• Type: AB2E2

• Ex. : H2O

Bent/Angular

• NO2

Trigonal Pyramidal

• 3 atoms attached to center atom• 1 lone pair

• Bond angle = 107o

• Type: AB3E

• Ex. : NH3

Trigonal Pyramidal

• PCl3
