Orbital Hybridization and VSEPR Theory
Which statement best describes the relationship between orbital hybridization and the molecular geometries predicted by VSEPR theory?
A
Hybridization contradicts VSEPR theory, leading to different predictions of molecular geometry
B
Hybridization determines the shape and bond angles of molecules, which are then refined by VSEPR theory to account for lone pair repulsions
C
VSEPR theory determines hybridization, which then influences the electron distribution in molecules
D
Hybridization only affects the bond strength, while VSEPR theory exclusively determines molecular shape
