Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry refers to a three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule where a central atom is bonded to three other atoms, forming the base of a pyramid, while a lone pair of electrons occupies the apex position. This shape arises due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons that exerts a repulsive force, causing the bonded atoms to be pushed down, resulting in a pyramidal arrangement.
