(1 point) Circle any statements below that are CORRECT regarding VSEPR Theory.
VSEPR theory predicts molecular shapes by considering how electron-electron repulsions maximize the distance between
adjacent groups.
Bonding regions are repelled from one another and exclusively determine the electron geometry about a central atom.
The electron geometry and molecular geometry will be equivalent when there are lone pairs coming off the central atom.
The ideal bond angles in a tetrahedron are 120o.
None of the statements above are CORRECT.
