Explanation:
Molecules are atoms bonded to each other in a definite order. Each atom forms bonds with electron pairs. These electron pairs are arranged about each atom in such a way to maximize the bond strength and minimize interactions between the bonds and unshared pairs of electrons..

Explanation:
If the electron pairs (bond pairs or lone pairs) surrounding the central atom are nearer, they will repel each other, thereby increasing the enthalpy of the molecule. ... (ii) The molecule attains minimum enthalpy and maximum stability.So molecule has a definite shape or geometry.
