Question
Which statement A–D about VSEPR theory is not correct?
The molecular shape or geometry can differ from the electron-pair geometry.
In VSEPR theory, the shape or geometry of a molecule is determined by electron–electron repulsion.
The steric number of a central atom is the sum of the number of bonds and lone pairs around the atom.
The steric number has five values from 2 to 6.
