Question

I just want to verify if I understand electronic and molecular geometry correctly. So with an example of H2O, its electrical geometry (which I think does take into account the lone pair(s) of electrons) would be a tetrahedral while its molecular geometry (which I think does not take into account lone electron pairs) would just be a bent shape. Am I correct or is there something important I am missing? Thank you in advanced for your answer! :)

Answer 1

If you're taking into account electrons, it would be tetrahedral, however, the shape is "bent" w/o taking into account 2 lone pairs.
