NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
What is the theoretical limitation of the VSEPR theory?
Options
- AIt cannot explain the geometry of simple molecules.
- BIt has limited applications.
- CIt is based on quantum mechanical principles.
- DIt cannot provide molecular geometry.
Correct answer
D. It cannot provide molecular geometry.
Step-by-step solution
The VSEPR theory gives the geometry of simple molecules but theoretically does not explain them.
