4. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model (VSEPR) According to this model, for main group elements, electron pairs will be as far apart from each other as possible.
This occurs in three dimensional space.
Both bonded and unshared pairs will occupy space with unshared pairs taking up more space.
The geometry is based on the total number of electron pairs - total coordination number.
