P : Electronic theory of valence did not explained the shapes of the molecules. Q : VSEPR Theory explained the shapes of the molecules.

Explain the forms of water

The shape of NH_3 molecule

The shape of acetylene molecule is

In hevy water molecule

Which of the following is the shape of water (H_2O) molecule ?

During chemical bond formation the potential energy of the bonding atoms decreases. According to VBT bond strength depends on extent of over lapping. Shapes and bond angles of the molecules were explained by VSEPR theory. This theory explains the Geometry of the molecules based on the repulsions among the valance shell electron pairs. As number of lone pairs increases repulsions increases apd the shape is altered accordingly. AB_(4) E_(2) type of molecule with square planar shape is

The hybridisation of sulphur atom in SCl_(4) and the shape of the molecule are
