Shape
When asked for the shape, are we always supposed to say the molecular geometry rather than the electronic geometry?

Re: Shape
Yes, we always write the molecular geometry because it gives a more accurate shape name than electronic geometry.

Re: Shape
I think he would clarify which one he wants us to answer but we most likely will be doing molecular geometry

Re: Shape
Yes, shape means molecular geometry. Professor Lavelle will be explicit about it on the final though.

Re: Shape
When we are asked for the shape then we respond with the molecular geometry, not the electronic geometry.
