the electron geometry is tetrahedral due to four groups surrounding the sulfur atom ( 2 lone pairs and 2 hydrogens)  the molecular geometry of the hydrogen sulfide i found to be bent (which i havnt come across in uni for some reason)  and due to the lone pair repulsion of the S-H bonds the angle will be considerably less than 109.5 degrees, around 92 degrees.    the differenece between molecular and electronic is that molecular takes into account only the bonded substituents around the sulfur such as the hydrogens, while the electronic geometry is the geometry of the localised electron densities( bonds and lone pairs).

The electronic geometry for the carbonate ion, in CO₃²⁻ is trigonal planar, and molecular geometry will be trigonal planar. The electronic geometry = Total number of atoms + lone pair around the central atom = 3 atoms + 0 lone pair= sp₂ (trigonal planar)The molecular geometry = As there is no lone pair its geometry will be trigonal planar.

Tiana Kshlerin · Answer

The carbon and oxygen are bonded through a double bond which counts as "one electron pair" and two single bonded oxygens. Hence the molecule has three electron pairs and is trigonal planar geometry.

The electron geometry is tetrahedral due to 4 groups around thesulfur atom. The molecular geometry of the hydrogen sulfide. lone pair repulsion of the S-H bonds the angle will be around 92 degrees.   The difference between molecular and electronic is that molecular takes intoaccount only the bonded substituents around the sulfur such as the hydrogens.
