difference between shape and geometry in vsepr theory
Dear Student,
As per VSEPR theory shape gives an representation of molecule with only bonds while geometry is an detailed version of molecular expression with lone pair of electrons commonly referred as Lewis structure, in general shape is abstract while geometry is detailed. The schematic representation of example are shown below,
