Chapter 12, Problem 73E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using VSEPR theory, electron pair geometry, the molecular shape, and the bond angle for a nitrogen tri-iodide molecule, NI3 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

VSEPR theory is an important model that is frequently used in chemistry to decide the shape and geometry of the molecules. VSEPR model is the extension of Lewis model. As the Lewis model is not able to explain the shape of the molecules. In terms of electron density it is given that both the bonding electrons as well as lone pair of electrons holds the shape of the molecule.
