In determining electron geometry, why do we consider only the electron groups on the central atom? why don't we consider the electron groups on terminal atoms?

The shape of a molecule is dependent on the arrangement of the terminal atoms around the central atom.

Explanation:

In the VSEPR, the terminal atoms are treated as electron pairs arranged around the central atom in such a way as to minimize repulsion between them. The number of terminal atoms around the central atom are counted as the electron pairs. Our major concern is how these electron pairs arrange themselves around the central atom.

that's just how they are

explanation:

you can't control another persons decisions, all you can do is ask that they respect yours. relationships are hard because you have to put the effort into making sure that another person feels seen, heard, and loved. as time goes on, it gets easier, you learn how to do these things without thinking. loving them becomes as easy as breathing, but every relationship will have fights, and sometimes it'll feel like you're drowning, but as long as you can talk it out and compromise, because that's truly what loving another person is, is compromise, then you'll be okay. movies and tv shows have glamorized and romanticized (pardon the pun) what a relationship would be like. real relationships aren't perfectly timed kisses in the rain, zero fights until one big one ends everything, 6 month anniversaries. real relationships are sleepy confused kisses when one person has to leave for work earlier than the other,   real relationships are having small disagreements, real relationships are messy and confusing, real relationships is knowing that even if you're relationship may not last forever and this may not be the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, that you love them, and you would do anything to see them happy. so yes, relationships are difficult, but so are many other things, relationships can be amazing but also stressful, and not just romantic i'm also talking about platonic relationships (although the primary example here was romantic) sometimes is best to leave friendships behind, so remember, always do whats going to you be happy in the long run.

la respuesta es si te gusta hacer lo que siempre haces cuando nunca ves a alguien en el espejo porque sabes que no siempre están ahí.
