How is a multiple bond treated in the context of the VSEPR theory?

Options

  1. AAs a pair of electrons with opposite charges
  2. BAs a single electron pair
  3. CAs a pair of electrons with the same charge
  4. DAs two separate electron pairs

Correct answer

B. As a single electron pair

Step-by-step solution

In the VSEPR theory, a multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair, and the two or three electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair.
