How can you use the VSEPR model to predict the shape of, and the bond angles in a molecule?

the VSEPR model utilizes electron-pair geometry (regions around the central atom) and molecular geometry (amount of lone pairs around the central atom–so whatever the electron-pair geometry is, you just count the amount of lone pairs in those regions).

Explanation:

No lone pairs around the central atom, the electron pair and molecular geometry would be the same. Bond angle differs depending on the electron pair geometry and molecular geometry you have for a molecule.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
