How will electron pairs behave towards one another according to VSEPR?
a. They will arrange themselves to be far apart from each other.
b. Electron pairs are not affected by other electron pairs.
c. They will be oriented close to each other.
d. The effect depends on the electronegativity of the atoms involved.
Electrons are negatively charged particles. Like charges repel one another, so electron pairs will want to be as far apart from each other as possible. Thus, the answer here would be A.
