18 Multiple Choice 1 point Molecular Geometry Question: When there are five regions of electron density around the central atom, what shape results and why? Tetrahedral, because five groups force a 3D pyramid. Octahedral, because electrons prefer

angles. Trigonal bipyramidal, because three groups spread out in a plane while two go above and below. Square pyramidal, because gne region always gets pushed down.
