Practice: Determine the electron geometry for the carbon disulfide molecule, CS2.
Electron Geometry is the simplest system for geometric shapes.
Concept #1: Electron Geometry
The electron geometry of a compound treats surrounding elements and lone pairs on the central element as the same.
Example #1: Determine the electron geometry for the hydrogen sulfide molecule, H2S.
