Options
- AAtoms' electronic configurations
- BAtoms' electron sharing
- CAtoms' electron detachment
- DAtoms' repulsive interactions
Correct answer
D. Atoms' repulsive interactions
Step-by-step solution
The theory proposed by Sidgwick and Powell is based on the repulsive interactions of the electron pairs in the valence shell of the atoms.
