10. Chemical Bonding

In Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, what is the key difference between electron geometry and molecular geometry around a central atom?

In simplified Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, what causes atoms (bonding groups) to spread out around a central atom?

Using simplified VSEPR theory, how many electron domains are around the central carbon atom in carbon dioxide, $C_1{O}_2$ (CO2)?

Using simplified VSEPR theory, how many electron domains are around the central oxygen atom in $H_{2}O$?
