6 Groups/Pairs Around the Central Atom
When the central atom has 6 bonding pairs of electron the geometry is octahedral. All the bond angles are 90°.
|
When a bonding pair of electrons is replaced with a nonbonding pair geometry is square pyramidal.
|
When the central atom has 4 bonding pairs of electrons and 2 nonbonding pair the geometry is square planar.
