    The document describes the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model for predicting molecular geometry. It defines classes based on the number of atoms bonded to the central atom and lone pairs. The classes include AB2, AB3, AB4, etc. It explains that lone pairs have more repulsion than bonding pairs, decreasing bond angles. Many molecular geometries are predicted based on the VSEPR model, such as linear, bent, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and octahedral. Examples of applying the model are also provided.

    Predicting Molecular Geometry
    1. Draw Lewis structure for molecule.
    2. Count number of lone pairs and number of atoms
    bonded to the central atom.
    3. Use VSEPR to predict the geometry of the
    molecule.
