Correct Answer: Nyholm and Gillespie


Solution : The correct answer is Nyholm and Gillespie.

In 1957, two chemists, Ronald Gillespie from Canada and Ronald Nyholm from Australia, came up with the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory. This theory provides a new way to predict the shape of individual molecules based on the extent of electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs.
