    The document provides information on ABnEn notation for describing molecular geometry, where A is the number of central atoms, B is the number of outer atoms, and E is the number of unshared electron pairs on the central atom. It lists several examples of molecular structures with their bond angles, such as AB2 having a bond angle of 180°, AB3 having bond angles of 120°, and AB4 having bond angles of 109.5°.
