What information does the $VSEPR$ theory provide about chemically bonded molecules,and what are its limitations?
(N/A) The $VSEPR$ theory provides information about the geometry of simple molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell.
Its main limitation is that it does not explain the geometry of complex molecules or the nature of bonding in transition metal complexes.
