Molecular geometry is the general shape of a molecule as determined by the relative positions of the atomic nuclei. VSEPR model predicts the shape of the molecules & ions in which valence shell electron pairs are arranged about the atom as far away from one another as possible, thus minimizing pair repulsion information about the geometry of a molecule can sometimes be obtained from an experimental quantity called dipole moment.

(i) The dipole moment of a triatomic molecule AX 2 was found to be equal to the bond moment of A – X bond. Which of the following information regarding geometry of the molecule can be drawn from the above observation.
