Bond Angle Chart

This document presents a chart describing the relationship between molecular geometry and bond angles. It lists the steric number, electron domain geometry, molecular geometry, and approximate bond angles for different molecular structures. Common examples are also provided for each electron domain geometry classification. The chart shows that molecular geometry can be linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral, square pyramidal, or square planar depending on the number of bonded atoms and electron pairs around the central atom.
