Which of the following statement is NOT the postulate of VSEPR theory?}
1
Where two or more resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR model is not applicable to any such structure.
2
A multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair and the two or three electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair.
3
The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs around the central atom.
4
Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel one another since their electron clouds are negatively charged.
5
The valence shell is taken as a sphere with the electron pairs localising on the spherical surface at maximum distance from one another.
