Answer:

The way atoms are arranged within a molecule depends on forces between the electrons on the central atom in the molecule, The theory that describes these forces is called he VSEPR theory (valance shell electron-pair repulsion theory. The VSEPR theory is based on pairs of electrons repelling each other, which predicts the shape of a molecule.

theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.
