Shape

On the test, if we are asked to give the shape of a molecule, do we give the electron-group shape name, or the molecular shape?

I think he's more likely to ask for the molecular shape. Either could be on the test, but the question will have to specifically state which is being asked for.

I think it will be made clear in the question what they are specifically asking for.

Most likely the molecular shape but I think it will be specified on the questions in the test.

I also think it is the molecular shape.

Most often if asked to give the shape of the molecule, I would state its molecular shape unless asked to say otherwise.
