Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (/ ˈ v ɛ s p ər, v ə ˈ s ɛ p ər / VESP-ər, [1]: 410 və-SEP-ər [2]) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. [3]
Like other chlorosilanes or silanes, silicon tetrachloride reacts readily with water: . SiCl 4 + 2 H 2 O → SiO 2 + 4 HCl. The reaction can be noticed on exposure of the liquid to air, as SiCl 4 vapour produces fumes as it reacts with moisture to give a cloud-like aerosol of silica and hydrochloric acid. [6]

Structure of xenon oxytetrafluoride, an example of a molecule with the square pyramidal coordination geometry. Square pyramidal geometry describes the shape of certain chemical compounds with the formula ML 5 where L is a ligand. If the ligand atoms were connected, the resulting shape would be that of a pyramid with a square base.
Representative d-orbital splitting diagrams for square planar complexes featuring σ-donor (left) and σ+π-donor (right) ligands. A general d-orbital splitting diagram for square planar (D 4h) transition metal complexes can be derived from the general octahedral (O h) splitting diagram, in which the d z 2 and the d x 2 −y 2 orbitals are degenerate and higher in energy than the degenerate ...

An example of a molecular species with square prismatic geometry (a slightly flattened cube) is octafluoroprotactinate(V), [PaF 8] 3–, as found in its sodium salt, Na 3 PaF 8. [6] While local cubic 8-coordination is common in ionic lattices (e.g., Ca 2+ in CaF 2 ), and some 8-coordinate actinide complexes are approximately cubic, there are no ...
The people with lower levels also had more lesions in the white matter in their brains, which can be a warning sign of cognitive decline, dementia or stroke, the researchers found. The findings ...
