Trends
As you go across a period add one valence electron
As you go down a group add one valance shell - all elements in the same group will contain similar chemical properties

Linear
Bent
Trigonal Planar
Trigonal Pyramidal
Tetrahedral
VSEPR
The 3D structure of molecules can be determined using electron pair repulsion (VSEPR). Lone pairs repel bonding pairs, this how trigonal pyramidal molecules are formed.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
