Q

What is the EPR theory?

A

Electron pair repulsion theory states that:
-the shape of a molecule or ion is caused by the repulsion between the pairs of electrons, both bond pairs and lone pairs that surround the atom

  • the electron pairs arrange themselves around the central atom so that the repulsion between them is at a minimum
  • lone pair-lone pair> lone pair-bond pair>bond pair-bond pair

Q

What shape has 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs?

A

Square Planar

21
Q

What is the relationship of the amount of lone pairs on angle size?

A

More lone pairs, smaller the angle as the repulsion brings them together. Repulsion reduces the size of the angle
