Quick review of how molecular shape can be determined from VSEPR: Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. Duration: 6:53.
The pairs of electrons in the valence shell of an atom repel one another, which explains why they need to be as far apart from one another as possible. This dictates the geometry of the molecule. Duration: 3:40.
