200
This is the bond angle produced in a trigonal planar molecular geometry.
What is 120 degrees?
200
This is the three-dimensional arrangement of electron positions and bonding of atoms.
What is molecular geometry?
200
These are bonds that form due to electrostatic attraction.

This is the molecular geometry of BCl3.

What is trigonal planar?

300

This is the molecular geometry of SF4.

What is tetrahedral?

300

This is the bond angle produced in a tetrahedral geometry.

What is about 109.5 degrees?

300
According to the VSEPR model, electrons and the atoms associated with them orient themselves to minimize these.
What are electrostatic repulsion or electron repulsion?
300
These bonds form when valance electrons in d orbitals are highly mobile and are attracted to the nuclei of other like atoms.

These are the bond angles produced in PF5.

What are 90 and 120 degrees?

400
This is the period on the periodic table that molecules with expanded (d) valence shells begin to appear.
What is the third period?
400
Electron pairs that are not involved in bonding (often labelled on a central atom) are called this.
What are lone pairs?
500

This is the class designation of phosphorus pentafluoride.
