Molecular geometry, also known as the molecular structure, is the three-dimensional structure or arrangement of atoms in a molecule. Understanding the molecular structure of a compound can help determine the polarity, reactivity, phase of matter, color, magnetism, as well as the biological activity

A lewis structure is a dot diagram that shows the valence electrons as well as various bonds present in elements. While VSEPR is used to draw and name the different molecular shapes like bent, linear, tetrahedral, etc. These shapes are determined based off of the lewis structure and the VSEPR theory.
