Check the link, it is a sheet describing the different types of electron and molecular geometry. It helped me a lot. ^^ electron pair geometry and molecular geometry won't be the same if there are lone pairs involved.

What circumstances is the molecular geometry around a central atom the same as the electron group geometry around the central atom?

The molecular geometry around a central atom is the same as the electron group geometry when there are no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom. In such cases, all electron groups (bonding pairs) are arranged symmetrically around the atom, leading to identical geometries. This typically occurs in molecules with linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral arrangements, depending on the number of bonding pairs.

What is the electron geometry and molecular geometry of NCl3?

The electron geometry of NCl3 is trigonal pyramidal (four electron groups around the central nitrogen atom). The molecular geometry of NCl3 is also trigonal pyramidal, as the three chlorine atoms and lone pair of electrons repel each other to form this shape.


Describe the role of each of the following in predicting molecular geometries a unshared electron pairs by double bonds?

In predicting molecular geometries, unshared electron pairs and double bonds influence the overall shape of a molecule. Unshared electron pairs tend to repel bonding pairs, causing distortions in the molecular geometry. Double bonds restrict rotation around the bond axis, affecting the spatial arrangement of the surrounding atoms and leading to a fixed geometry for the molecule.
