If two atoms are bonded to a central atom with no lone pairs, how will they be

arranged In a linear shape

Step-by-step explanation:

A particle with two electron pairs and no lone sets encompassing the central atom has a linear shape. One with four electron pairs (and no lone pairs) encompassing the central atom would have a tetrahedral shape.

One opportunity is the central atom holding an atom with two valance electrons. This will form a liner molecule with no lone pairs of electrons.

Another chance is a central atom comprising an atom with four valance electrons. If the two atoms each need two bonds like oxygen the outcome will be a linear molecule with no lone pairs of electrons.
