Abstract
The valence shell electron-pair repulsion model successfully accounts for geometrical variations in extensive classes of compounds. According to its basic postulate the geometry of a molecule is determined by the space requirements of all electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom. The compatibility of a structure with this model must be tested by examining the variations of all angles of all electron pairs in the valence shell.
