Six balloons tied together in a bunch arrange themselves in an octahedral fashion. As balloons are popped the resulting number conforms to the molecular shapes of VSEPR theory. To Conduct ...

Where two or more resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR model is applicable to any such structure.

(b) In canonical structures there is a difference in the arrangement of atoms. (c) Hybrid orbitals form stronger bonds than pure orbitals. (d) VSEPR Theory can explain the square planar geometry ...
