What does the VSEPR theory predict?

A. Valence electrons will pair up with electrons from another atom.
B. Valence electron pairs are transferred from a central atom to bonding atoms.
C. Valence electrons around a nucleus will pair up whenever possible.
D. Valence electron pairs will move as far apart from each other as possible.



Answer :

Final answer:

VSEPR theory predicts molecular structure by minimizing repulsions and maximizing distances between electron pairs.


Explanation:

VSEPR theory predicts the arrangement of electron pairs around each central atom by minimizing repulsions and maximizing distances between electron pairs. The theory helps in determining the molecular structure and bond angles of a molecule based on the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure.
