Which of the following is not a postulate of VSEPR theory?
The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded or non-bonded) around the central atom.
Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel one another since their electron clouds are negatively charged.
The positions of the electron pairs in space around central atom are such that maximise repulsion and thus minimise distance between them.
The magnitudes of the different types of electronic repulsions follows the order given below: Lone pair - Lone pair > Lone pair - Bonding pair > Bonding pair - Bonding pair
Answers (1)
The positions of the electron pairs in space around central atom are such that minimise repulsion and thus maximise distance between them. However, the correct postulate is that the positions of the electron pairs in space around central atom are such that minimise repulsion and thus minimise distance between them.
