Which outcome occurs from hybridized orbitals during VSEPR theory?

A)Minimized electron pair repulsive forces
B)Maximized nuclear shielding effect
C)Increased electron-electron attraction
D)Enhanced London dispersion forces

💡 Explanation

Hybridization dictates molecular geometry through VSEPR because electron pairs arrange to minimize electrostatic repulsion, creating specific bond angles; therefore, minimizing repulsion shapes the final molecule, rather than attracting electrons or maximizing nuclear shielding, which have different functions.
