Options
- APredicting the geometry of all molecules accurately
- BAccurately predicting the geometry of compounds of s-block elements
- CAccurately predicting the geometry even when energy differences are large
- DPredicting the geometry of a large number of molecules, especially p-block compounds, accurately
Correct answer
D. Predicting the geometry of a large number of molecules, especially p-block compounds, accurately
Step-by-step solution
The VSEPR Theory is able to predict the geometry of a large number of molecules, especially compounds of p-block elements, accurately.
