For the first question, the three - dimensional structure of molecules is described by distances between atoms, angles between bonds, and relative arrangements of atoms in space. Charge and dipole are related to the electronic properties rather than the geometric structure directly. For the second question, VSEPR (Valence - Shell Electron - Pair Repulsion) theory predicts molecular shape based on the arrangement of electron pairs (bonding and non - bonding) around the central atom in the Lewis structure. Nuclei, neutrons, and protons are not what VSEPR is based on for shape prediction.
