How does the VSPER theory explain molecular shape A. Electron pair attractions pull atoms together
B. Electron pairs repelling each other push atoms apart
C. Valence electrons modify core electron orbitals
D. Intermolecular forces distort electron bonds

B. Electron pairs repelling each other push atoms apart

Explanation:

The VESPR theory explains molecular shape by suggesting that electron pairs repelling each other push atoms apart.

If an atom is bonded to two or more other kinds of atoms as in many covalent molecules and ions, the shape of the system is determined by the geometry of the bonds around the central atom.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
