The spatial arrangement of nuclei in a selected molecular structure, usually specified near an equilibrium or averaged over motion.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Geometry is the spatial component of a molecular structure at a specified state or level of averaging.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
wp-physics-chemical-bondopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-gold-bookThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Rotational constants constrain principal moments of inertia and isotopic substitution can support geometry determination.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

VSEPR predicts many main-group shapes from electron-domain arrangements but is not a universal electronic-structure theory.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
wp-physics-chemical-bondopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-gold-bookEach relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A molecular geometry is classified by symmetry operations that leave the idealized nuclear arrangement invariant; conformational motion, isotopic substitution, and environment can lower the effective symmetry.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
wp-physics-chemical-bondopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-gold-bookThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Hybridization is a localized orbital model used to rationalize selected molecular geometries and bonding patterns; it is not a unique observable decomposition of an exact wavefunction.
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.
