@ASLstudentUSM Electron Geometry = Shape determined by electron groups which includes both bonds and lone pair electrons. Molecular Shape (or molecular geometry) = Shape determined by atoms which doesn't include lone pair electrons but indirectly includes bonds.
@EnderlePhd your videos help me sooo much! Good job! buut i have one question. for the trigonal bipyramidal shape...why wouldnt it have a 180degree angle. seeing as though the X on the top and X on the bottom are in a straight line.
@CfergSPSU That's right though I consider the 180 angle two 90 angles put together. You'll want to ask your professor what s/he prefers you to document on homework and exam problems.
Genious. The way you went through them made sense. My teacher just randomly went from structure to structure with no organization.

I think im confused with the difference between electron geometry and molecular shape.
