The approximate shape of a molecule can often be predicted by using what is called the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model. Electrons in bonds and in lone pairs can be thought of a ''charge cloud'' that repel one another nad stay as far apart as possible, thus causing molecules to assume specific shapes. The repulsive interactions of electron pairs decrease in the order: Lone pair - Lone pair gt Lone pair - Bond pair gt Bond pair - Bond pair These repulsive effects result in deviations from idealised shapes and alteration in bond angles in molecules.
