Diagram showing VSEPR electron pair arrangements and their corresponding molecular shapes, including linear, trigonal planar, angular, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal, seesaw, T-shaped, octahedral, square pyramidal, and square planar geometries. Each arrangement is illustrated with red lines and electron pairs.
