Question

Based on the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (or VSEPR), molecules will arrange to keep the following as far apart as physically possible

a) mobile electrons
b) valence electron pairs
c) inner shell electrons
d) the electrons closest to the nuclei

Answer 1

B. Valence Electron Pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Valence-shell electron-pair repulsion, or VSEPR, describes the shape of molecules by determining the repulsion of valence electrons. Therefore, our answer is B.
