How do we predict the shape of a molecule?
1.Find the central atom (take how many electrons in the outer shell) 2. how many other atoms is the central atom bonded to. 3. If it has a negative charge +1 if it has a positive charge -1 4. add values together then divide by 2.

Define 'charge cloud'.
A charge cloud is an area where there is a large possibility of finding an electron.
13 of 16
Define electronegativity.
Electronegativity is the ability to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond.
14 of 16
What is a dipole?
The difference in electronegativity between two atoms causes a dipole.
15 of 16
Briefly explain valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
Lone pair/lone pair have the greatest repulsion. Lone pair/bond pair second greatest repulsion and bond pair/bond pair has the weakest repulsion.
