Nyholm & Gillespie explains the shapes of molecules for _.
Correct answer: B. Non-transition elements
- A. Transition elements
- B. Non-transition elements
- C. Only alkali metals
- D. Alkaline earth metals
Explanation
Option ''B'' 'NON TRANSITION ELEMENTS' is the right option. In 1957, Nylholm and Gillespie proposed VSEPR theory. The VSEPR theory does not shed any light on the compounds of transition metals, it deals with non-transition elements.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
