Which one of the statements A-D about electron-pair geometry and molecular geometry is not correct?
A)The electron-pair geometry identifies the relative positions of the bonding regions of electrons and the lone pairs of electrons around a central atom in a molecule.
B)The molecular geometry identifies the relative positions of the atoms around a central atom in a molecule.
C)If there are no lone pairs, then the electron-pair geometry and the molecular geometry are the same.
D)The molecular geometry differs from the electron-pair geometry when the number of atoms around the central atom is smaller than the number of regions of electron density.
E)Statements A-D are all correct.
