The shape of a molecule is determined by its atomic geometry and can influence its chemical properties and reactivity. Key factors include:

• Bond Angles: The angles between adjacent bonds, which affect the overall shape.

• Hybridization: The mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals suitable for pairing electrons to form chemical bonds.

• Molecular Orbitals: The regions in a molecule where there is a high probability of finding electrons, which can further define the shape and reactivity.
