    The document discusses three types of molecular geometry according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory: AB6, AB4E2, and AB5E1. AB6 molecules have an octahedral electronic geometry and octahedral molecular geometry, exemplified by SeF6. AB4E2 molecules have an octahedral electronic geometry but a square planar molecular geometry, with two lone pairs, as seen in XeF4. AB5E1 molecules have an octahedral electronic geometry that results in a square pyramidal molecular geometry, with one lone pair, such as BrF5.
