Question

1. If all of the electron groups around a central atom are bonding groups (that is, there are no lone pairs), what is the molecular geometry for two electron groups?
2. If all of the electron groups around a central atom are bonding groups (that is, there are no lone pairs), what is the molecular geometry for three electron groups?
3. If all of the electron groups around a central atom are bonding groups (that is, there are no lone pairs), what is the molecular geometry for four electron groups?
