Answer by Martin - マーチン for VSEPR theory, chemical bond and quantum mechanics
VSEPR is a simple and generalised approach based (mainly) on empirical observation. It is a great theory in predicting, in a first order approximation, the geometrical shape of molecules. That is a lot...

VSEPR theory correctly predicts the shapes of many symmetry-broken molecules such as $\ce{H2O}$ and $\ce{NH3}$. Take $\ce{NH3}$ for example. In VSEPR theory, the nitrogen atom is (approximately) at the...
