b. What is the molecular shape of the molecule? (3 points)

Molecular Geometries. The VSEPR theory describes five main shapes of simple molecules: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. Apply the VSEPR model to determine the geometry of molecules where the central atom contains one or more lone pairs of electrons.
