Chapter 9, Problem 85

Determine whether each of the following statements about the VSEPR model is true:

i. The model is based on the arrangement of electron domains that minimizes the overall repulsion among them.

ii. A double bond is considered to be two electron domains.

iii. A nonbonding electron domain is more spread out in space than a bonding domain.
