5. The molecular and electron geometries are not always the same for a molecule. The molecular geometry refers to the arrangement of atoms in a molecule, while the electron geometry refers to the arrangement of electron pairs (both bonding and non-bonding) around the central atom. In some cases, the electron pairs may be arranged differently than the atoms, leading to different geometries.6. When determining the molecular or electron geometry of a molecule, the following information is required:- The number of valence electrons in the central atom.- The number of atoms bonded to the central atom.- The number of lone pairs on the central atom.These factors determine the arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom, which in turn determines the molecular or electron geometry of the molecule.
