Molecular geometry is the general shape of a molecule as determined by the

relative positions of the atomic nuclei. VSEPR model predicts the shape of the
molecules & ions in which valence shell electron pairs are arranged about
the atom as far away from one another as possible, thus minimizing pair
repulsion information about the geometry of a molecule can sometimes be
obtained from an experimental quantity called dipole moment.
