According to the VSEPR theory, how do multiple bonds affect the gross stereochemistry of a molecule?
Multiple bonds have no effect on the geometry of a molecule
Multiple bonds cause additional repulsion between electron pairs
Multiple bonds reduce the repulsion between electron pairs
Multiple bonds alter the electronegativity of the central atom
Multiple bonds do not affect the gross stereochemistry of a molecule. The geometry of a molecule is deter- mined primarily by the number of sigma bond pairs and the number of lone pairs.
