Geometry Sheet

This document provides a chart that relates the number of bonding groups and lone pair electrons on the central atom to the electron-pair geometry, molecular geometry, and bond angles. It shows that the electron-pair geometry and molecular geometry can be determined from the central atom's bonding groups and lone pair electrons, and the types of bond angles that result from different electron-pair geometries.
