Final answer:

The answer provides the electron pair and molecular geometries for CdI₂, CH₄, and NF₃ molecules.


Explanation:

Electron pair geometry refers to the arrangement of regions of high electron density around a central atom in a molecule. The molecular geometry is determined by the positions of the atoms in the molecule. Let's analyze the given molecules:

  1. CdI₂: 2 regions of high electron density; linear geometry
  2. CH₄: 4 regions of high electron density; tetrahedral electron pair geometry and molecular geometry
  3. NF₃: 4 regions of high electron density; trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry
