The shapes of the molecules are;

1) Linear 2) Trigonal planar 3) Trigonal pyramidal 4) Bent/Angular 5) Tetrahedral

The shapes of molecules

By taking into account the repulsion between electron pairs, the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory offers a framework for predicting molecular shapes.

Various geometries, depending on the number of bonding and non-bonding electron pairs, result in different structures, including tetrahedral, linear, trigonal planar, and more complex ones. A molecule's polarity, reactivity, and interactions in different chemical processes are all influenced by its molecular shape.
