![]() On the other hand, if there are one or more lone pair electrons, then molecular geometry and electron domain geometry will be different. For instance, in CH₄, both electron geometry and molecular geometry is tetrahedral. If there are no lone pair electrons, then the molecular geometry and electron domain geometry will be the same. On the other hand, electron domain geometry represents the arrangement of all the electron groups including both bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom. This suggests that molecular geometry only represents the arrangement of bond pair electrons around the central atom. Molecular geometry represents the arrangements of the bonded atoms around the central metal atom.
