NAC Chapter 7: Bonding 7.3 Molecular Geometry VSEPR Model Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model - is based on the number of regions of high electron density around a central atom. can be used to predict structures of molecules or ions that contain only non-metals by minimizing the electrostatic repulsion between the regions of high electron density. can be used to predict structures of molecules or ions that contain multiple bonds or unpaired electrons. Steric Number= total number of regions (pairs and bonds) of electron density Isomers= same chemical formula, but different structures Ex:
