Electron Geometry And Molecular Geometry Chart. The term electron geometry refers to the name of the geometry of the electron pairgroupsdomains on the central atom whether they are bonding electrons or non-bonding electrons.

Whereas electron geometry is the 3D arrangement of electron pairs around a central atom whether bonding or non-bonding.
The molecular geometry of SiCl4 is tetrahedral and its electron geometry is also tetrahedral because as per VSEPR theory molecular shape considers only bond pairs or atoms while electron geometry considers bonded atoms as well as lone pairs present on the central atom.

If not all A-X bond are identically polar this will be a polar molecule.
