a. Linear
b. Triagonal-bipyramidal
c. Tetrahedral
d. Bent

A molecule with four atoms and no lone pairs around the central atom has a ____ shape.
a. Linear
b. Triagonal-bipyramidal
c. Tetrahedral
d. Bent

A molecule that has two atoms and two lone pairs around the central atom has a ____ shape.
a. Linear
b. Triagonal-bipyramidal
c. Tetrahedral
d. Bent

Answer 1

A molecule with two atoms and no lone pairs has a linear shape, a molecule with four atoms and no lone pairs has a tetrahedral shape, and a molecule with two atoms and two lone pairs has a bent shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

A molecule with two atoms and no lone pairs around the central atom has a Linear shape.

A molecule with four atoms and no lone pairs around the central atom has a Tetrahedral shape.

A molecule that has two atoms and two lone pairs around the central atom has a Bent shape.
