A compound<span> is a </span>molecule<span> that contains at least two different elements. </span>All compounds<span> are </span>molecules<span> but not </span>all molecules<span> are </span>compounds<span>. </span>Molecularhydrogen (H2<span>), </span>molecular<span> oxygen (O</span>2<span>) and </span>molecular<span> nitrogen (N</span>2) are notcompounds<span> because each is composed of a single element.</span>
The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.
As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.
The hybridisation sp³ makes electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its molecular geometry bent
