Bent as follows: Atomic s character concentrates in orbitals directed toward electropositive substituents. Valence bond theory gives a good approximation of molecular structure. Bent's rule addresses disparities between the observed and idealized geometries. According to Bent's rule, a central atom bonded to multiple grou
