What is the difference between the arrangement of electron pairs and the shape of the molecules?
The shape of a molecule only describes the arrangement of bonds around a central atom. The arrangement of electron pairs describes how both the bonding and nonbonding electron pair are arranged. For example, in its molecular shape, a water molecule is describes as bent, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. However, the arrangement of electron pairs around the oxygen atom is tetrahedral as there are two bonding pairs (shared with the hydrogen) and also two nonbonding pairs.
How many atoms are bonded to the central atom when the molecular geometry is T-shaped?
3
If two atoms are bonded to a central atom with no lone pairs how will they be arranged?
linear
What is the definition of lone pairs of electrons?
The lone pair electron region is the place around the central atom where electrons not bonding with another atom can be found. A lone pair of electrons are electrons that are not bonded with other atoms.
What percentage of bonded leather is plastic?
0%. If it is bonded leather it is bonded leather and not plastic!
What is shown by the structural formula of a polyatomic ion?
An arrangement of bonded atoms.

What is the Arrangement of bonded atoms or ions within a substance?
A Chinese takeaway
The smallest identifiable unit of a compound?
A molecule. An arrangement of atoms bonded together.
What is the dot structure for SbCl3?
The Lewis dot structure for SbCl3 is a tetrahedral arrangement with one lone pair. The three Cls are single bonded around the Sb atom.
When Polar compounds with a central atom bonded with 2 other atoms must have a central atom bonded to 2 that have different?
Although your question is at best semi-coherent, I believe that the answer you are looking for is electronegativity.
What information does a molecules molecular structure?
It shows the arrangement of the various atoms in space and which atoms are covalently bonded to one another.
If two atoms are bonded to central atom with no lone pairs how will they be arranged?
linear
If two atoms are bonded to a central atom with no lone pairs how will they be placed?
One on each side (at 180º) of the central atom.
What is the electron domain of NO2?
It would be trigonal planar. The N central atom has a double bonded O and a single bonded O and one lone electron.
Why is CF4 a tetrahedral geometry?
It is tetrahedral because there are four electrons bonded to the central atom.
A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called?
This name is ligand.
