Chemical processes | MCAT | Khan Academy - VSEPR for 4 electron clouds | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

In this video, we apply VSEPR theory to molecules and ions with four groups or “clouds” of electrons around the central atom. To minimize repulsions, four electron clouds will always adopt a tetrahedral electron geometry. Depending on how many of the clouds are lone pairs, the molecular geometry will be tetrahedral (no lone pairs), trigonal pyramidal (one lone pair), or bent (two lone pairs).
