VSEPR REVIEW

In covalent bonds, electrons are ___________.

• transferred

• gained

• lost

• shared

 A lone pair is defined as

• A pair of bonding electrons

• One non-bonding electron

• A pair of non-bonding electrons on the central atom

• A pair of electrons

Pairs of electrons that are not used between bonding atoms are called-

• single pairs

• bonding pairs

• adjacent pairs

• lone pairs

What is the VSEPR theory used to predict?

• Bond Strength
• Polarity
• Molecular Shape
• Electronegativity
