Molecular geometry
Molecular geometry
is the
three-dimensional
arrangement of the
atoms
that constitute a
molecule
. It determines several properties of a substance including its
reactivity
,
polarity
,
phase of matter
,
color
,
magnetism
, and
biological activity
. The angles between bonds that an atom forms depend only weakly on the rest of molecule, i.e. they can be understood as approximately local and hence
transferable properties
.
