    This document summarizes molecular geometries based on the number of electron pairs around the central atom. It lists the total number of electron pairs, bonding groups, lone pairs, geometry name, approximate bond angle, and examples for each geometry. Geometries resulting in non-polar molecules when all substituents are identical are shaded. Molecular geometries range from linear to octahedral depending on the number of electron pairs.
