what's abn mean?
its the ABn molecules, which is related to VSPER
I guess A is one atom, B is another atom, what's n. Perhaps the number of B atoms? Or is that supposed to stand for the number of unpaired electrons?
2 is linear. 3 is trigonal. 4 is tetrahedral. 5 is trigonal bipyramidal. And 6 is octahedral.
A is the central atom and B is an atom bonded to the central atom. n is the number of B atoms.
