Question

Hybridization was introduced to explain molecular geometry also it predicts, bond parameters like bond angle, bond length, bond order etc. The VSEPR model considers double and triple bonds to have slightly greater repulsive effects than single bonds because of the repulsive effect of π electrons. Multiple bonds, like lone pairs, tend to occupy more space than single bond and to cause distortions that in effect squeeze the rest of the molecule together. In molecules that have both lone pairs and multiple bonds, these features may compete for space.
