How do atoms achieve noble-gas configuration in a single covalent bond? |
They share a pair of electrons. |
|
What does the VSEPR theory state? |
The VSEPR (Valence, Shell, Electron, Pair, Repulsion) theory states that the repulsion between electron pairs causes molecular shapes to adjust so that the valence-electron pairs stay as far apart as possible. |
