   Limitations of VSEPR and Higher-Order Considerations
   While VSEPR theory-theory/) is effective for main group elements, it often fails when applied to transition metals or molecules exhibiting significant $\pi$-bonding or d-orbital participation. More sophisticated models, often involving molecular orbital theory or crystal field theory for coordination complexes, are necessary.
