What factors influence the effectiveness of a buffer? What are the characteristics of an effective buffer?
1 Chemistry Notes Week 10 Notes Molecular Geometry A. Molecular shape can be predicted by using the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model (AB ) X B. A is the central atom surrounded by X B atoms C. X can have integer values of 2 to 6 D. The basis of the VSEPR model is that electrons repel each other E. Electrons are found in various domains, either in lone pairs, single bonds, double bonds, or triple bonds F. Electrons will arrange themselves to be as far apart as possible, so as to minimize repulsion interactions G. The electron domain geometry is the arrangement of electron domain
