What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 3 lone pairs on the central atom?

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory states that the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom of a molecule determines the shape or geometry of the molecule.

For a molecule having two bonding pairs  and three lone pairs, the shape should based on a trigonal bipyramid. However, the molecular geometry is linear with a bond angle of 180 degrees.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
