Answer:

VSEPR theory

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory was propounded by Gillespie and Nylom (1957).

The entire idea of the VSEPR theory is that the shape of a molecule depends on the electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs surrounding the central atom in a molecule which causes these pairs to be separated as far as possible.

The shapes of many molecules can be accurately predicted based on this model.
