What do you understand by geometry and shapes of molecules?


The definite arrangement of various bonded atoms in a molecule is called the geometry of the molecule. The shape of a molecule (or molecular shape) is the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule with respect to each other i.e. the angle between atoms and length of the covalent bonds (bond lengths). The molecules may have different bond lengths and bond angles and so might have different molecular shapes.
