What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 1 lone pair on the central atom?
The molecular geometry of this molecule is bent. Click on the related link for a Wikipedia article that contains a VSEPR table.
Why is the electron geometry of a water tetrahedral while molecular geometry is V shaped?
Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell but attains 8 when it bonds with the two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule. This makes 4 pairs of two. Theelectron geometry is therefore a tetrahedral (4 apices). Because the two hydrogens are attached to two of these apices they form a V shape.
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 5 outer atoms and 1 lone pair on the central atom?
Anything with six electron groups, keep in mind an electron group is a bonded atom or an electron pair, is an octahedral. Anything in an octahedral and a lone pair is the square pyramidal geometry. So all angles between the atoms are a little less than 90 degrees and the angle of the electron pair is greater than 90.
What does perimeter mean in geometry?
It is the total length of the outer boundary of a plane shape.
The difference between a positive and a negative charged atom?
First, if it is charged it is called an 'ion' and if it is positively charged it has lost one or more electrons from its outer parts and if it is negatively charged it has captured one or more electrons into its outer parts - as compared with its ground state which is when it has the same number of negative electrons in its outer parts as there are positively charged protons in its center and is therefore electrically neutral. all atoms are neutral, they have the same number of negatively charged electrons as they have positively charged protons (which is equal to the atomic number of that atom). metals can lose all of their valence electrons to get a complete outer orbital electron configuration, to form positively charged cations (+1, +2, and +3). They lose negatively charged electrons so they end up positive. ions are not atoms, they are atoms that have lost electrons or non-metals can gain electrons to fill their valence orbitals (becoming -1, -2, or -3). these nonmetals with extra electrons are anions, but anions are not atoms, they are atoms with extra electrons.

What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 4 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs on the central atom?
square planar
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 3 outer atoms and 2 lone pair on the central atom?
trigonal planar
How many central atoms of O3?
Ozone (O3) has a bent molecular geometry, shaped like this: ^. One of the oxygen atoms is considered to be the central atom, and the other two are considered to be terminal or outer atoms.

What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 3 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs on the central atom?
Such a molecule is trigonal but due to presence of lone pair the bond angle is less than 120 degree as HNO2 the central atom is nitrogen. O=N..-OH

Is a molecular compound the same as a covalent compound?
A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together.A compound is two or more different atoms bonded together therefore almost all compounds are molecular. A covalent compound is, therefore, usually a molecule with a specific type of bond in which the two (or more) atoms share electrons from their outer shells.Some covalent compounds don't form molecules, however, such as Silicon Dioxide which forms a covalent network..
When a stable molecule is formed what is the configuration of its atoms' outer shells?
The atoms of the molecule effectively achieve a noble gas configuration by sharing valence electrons.
Is a molecule found in the inner orbit?
No. Molecules are not in the orbitals of atoms. They are composed of multiple atoms. The electrons that dictate how they form are in the outer orbitals.
What are the components of the molecule?
They are composed of atoms held together by sharing their outer electrons in covalent bonds.
What combinations of elements in a compound would be molecular?
A molecule is an association of atoms where each forms a valence bond or an ionic bond with an other atom under certain conditions.An atom forms an association when it outer shell is not satisfied with the complete number of electrons(2 for Hydrogen, 8 for all others).Therefore two or more atoms of the same or different kind can form a molecule under certain conditions .Molecule= chemical compound.
