Expert Solution

Step 1

The Geometry of the above-given structures can be explained with the help of the VSEPR theory. Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures show the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs that may be present in the molecule. The polarity of the molecule is based on the electronegativity difference between the central atom and the bonded atom. In the case of given molecules like H₂, Cl₂ the atoms have similar electronegativities and the molecules are non-polar.
