Chemical processes | MCAT | Khan Academy - VSEPR for 3 electron clouds | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

In this video, we apply VSEPR theory to molecules and ions with three groups or “clouds” of electrons around the central atom. To minimize repulsions, three electron clouds will always adopt a trigonal planar electron geometry. If none of the clouds is a lone pair, the molecular geometry will also be trigonal planar. If one of the clouds is a lone pair, the molecular geometry will be bent.
