Molecular geometry refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule. It describes the shape of the molecule formed by the positions of the bonded atoms and the angles between them. Understanding molecular geometry is crucial in chemistry because it influences properties such as polarity, reactivity, phase of matter, color, magnetism, biological activity, and many other characteristics of molecules.
