The VSEPR Model. The VSEPR model can predict the structure of nearly any molecule or polyatomic ion in which the central atom is a nonmetal, as well as the structures of many molecules and polyatomic ions with a central metal atom.
This VSEPR chart shows you all of the common VSEPR geometries, organized by the steric number and how many lone electron pairs they have. The steric number is how many atoms are bonded to a central atom of a molecule plus the number of lone electron pairs attached to that atom.
The following table gives the molecular geometry for the most common types of molecules, along with AXE designations, bond angles, and examples.
Use our handy VSEPR chart to find the 3-D geometric VSEPR shapes of molecules and ions and learn about VSEPR theory and shapes.

Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) ... VSEPR theory makes the predictions in the following tables. Main-group elements. For main-group elements, there are stereochemically active lone pairs E whose number can vary between 0 to 3. Note that the geometries are named according to the atomic positions only and not the electron arrangement.
