Category - Chemistry

In the VSEPR geometry theory, how should electrons be represented?
  1. As a bonding pair.
  2. Electrons are not represented.
  3. As two bonding pairs.
  4. As a circulating shell.
  5. As an electron cloud.
Explanation
Answer: B - Electrons are not represented in VSEPR theory, which only examines the structure of the binding atoms. Thus, the water molecule, which has two free electron pairs, is still classified as a bent molecule.
