Repulsion
Strongest Lone pair - lone pair
Lone pair - bond pair
Weakest Bond pair - bond pair
Behaviour of repulsion
Electron pairs repel to be as far away from each other as possible
For every lone pair bond angle reduced by 2.5
2 bond pairs

Explain how to deduce shape and bond angle
- Amount of e on outer shell and where from
- Amount of bond pair and lone pairs
- e pair repulsion behavior
- Angle decrease
- State shape
