Worksheet 13 - Molecular Shapes The shapes of molecules can be predicted from their Lewis structures by using the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model, which states that electron pairs around a central atoms will assume a geometry that keeps them as far apart from each other as possible. This is illustrated by the drawings below.
