Q. By the following method you can predict the geometrical shape of species with only one central atom, without first drawing the Lewis structure :
Total number of electron pairs = (number of valence electrons

\pm

electrons (for ionic) charge)/2
Number of bond electron pairs = number of atoms - 1
Number of electron pairs around central atom = total number of electron pairs - 3 [number terminal atoms (except H)]
Number lone pair = (number of central electron pairs - number of bond pairs)
