Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. For diagrams, you may sketch or describe the molecular geometry.
1. According to VSEPR theory, what is the molecular geometry of a molecule with two bonding domains and no lone pairs?
Trigonal planar
Bent
Linear
Tetrahedral
2. The VSEPR theory states that electron domains around a central atom will arrange themselves to minimize .
3. A molecule with a central atom and three bonding domains and one lone pair will have a molecular geometry.
4. Explain how lone pairs of electrons influence the bond angles and overall molecular geometry of a molecule.
