    This document outlines the relationship between the number of lone pairs and bonding groups on a central atom and the resulting molecular geometry. It shows that the electron-pair geometry and molecular geometry are determined by hybridization. The more lone pairs and bonding groups, the more complex the hybridization and geometry.
