Vsepr: Predicting Molecular Geometry and Hybridization

The document discusses the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory for predicting molecular geometry and hybridization. It provides a table that lists the electron groups, bonding groups, lone pairs, molecular geometry, hybridization, and approximate bond angles for different molecular structures. The table shows how the number of electron groups determines the molecular geometry and hybridization.
