From the BP and LP interactions we can predict both the relative positions of the atoms and the angles between the bonds, called the bond angles. Using this information, we can describe the molecular geometry, the arrangement of the bonded atoms in a molecule or polyatomic ion.

This VSEPR chart shows you all of the common VSEPR geometries, organized by the steric number and how many lone electron pairs they have. The steric number is how many atoms are bonded to a central atom of a molecule plus the number of lone electron pairs attached to that atom.
Identify the electron pair interactions – lone pair-lone pair, lone pair-bond pair, and bond pair-bond pair. Based on the interactions, predict the deviation from the ideal bond angles. Describe the molecular geometry.
Assign an AX m E n designation; then identify the LP–LP, LP–BP, or BP–BP interactions and predict deviations from ideal bond angles. Describe the molecular geometry. We will illustrate the use of this procedure with several examples, beginning with atoms with two electron groups.
The Electron Domain Geometries. Molecular Geometries from each Electron Domain Geometry . Since electron pairs cannot be seen, the electron domain geometries are theoretical. The molecular geometries, also called shapes of molecules, are determined experimentally by X-ray diffraction.
Using the VSEPR Chart to Determine Shape and Bond Angle. To use a VSEPR table, first determine the coordination number or number of electron pairs. Count the valence electrons of the central atom. Add an electron for each bonding atom.
The molecular geometry, or three-dimensional shape of a molecule or polyatomic ion, can be determined using valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (abbreviated VSEPR and pronounced “VES-per”) theory, in which the basic principle is valence electrons around a central atom stay as far apart as possible to. minimize the repulsions.
