The document discusses Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory. VSEPR Theory states that the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of electron pairs around the central atom. Electron pairs repel each other and arrange as far apart as possible. Bond pairs and lone pairs cause repulsion, with lone pairs causing more repulsion than bond pairs. The geometry that results in the lowest repulsion determines the molecular shape. Common molecular shapes include linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral.
