  2. A - central atom X -surrounding atom E -nonbonding valence electron-group integers VSEPR - Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory • Each group of valence electrons around a central atom is located as far away as possible from the others in order to minimize repulsions. • The result is five electron-group arrangements of minimum energy seen in a large majority of molecules and polyatomic ions. • Because valence electrons can be bonding or nonbonding, the same electron-group arrangement can give rise to different molecular shapes.
