Interpretation: The geometry of all the atoms (except hydrogens) has to be predicted for the given compound.
Concept Introduction:
According to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory, each molecule gets a unique structure. That structure is explained by considering steric number of that molecule.
The steric number is the combination of both number of σ-bonds and number of lone pairs involved in a particular molecule.
σ-bonds are formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the two atoms. As a result, bond between two atoms is formed. This type of bond is called covalent bond. In this process, bonding electron pairs are involved.
Non-bonding electrons are not involved in the bond formation. They are called lone pairs.
The geometry of the atom will be determined by counting the steric number followed by the hybridization state of that atom and finally electronic arrangement of atoms in space.
If the steric number is 4, the atom has sp3 hybridization and the electronic arrangement of atoms in space (i.e. geometry) will be tetrahedral.
If the steric number is 3, the atom has sp2 hybridization and the electronic arrangement of atoms in space (i.e. geometry) will be trigonal planar.
If the steric number is 2, the atom has sp hybridization and the electronic arrangement of atoms in space (i.e. geometry) will be linear.
To find: The geometry for all the atoms in the given compound

Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures.
