Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following molecules has a bent shape?
  • Step 1: Identify the molecules you are comparing to find the one with a bent shape.
  • Step 2: Understand that a bent shape occurs when there are two bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom.
  • Step 3: Look at the molecule H2O (water). It has two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
  • Step 4: Check the number of lone pairs on the oxygen atom in H2O. There are two lone pairs.
  • Step 5: Since H2O has two bonding pairs (from the hydrogen atoms) and two lone pairs, it has a bent shape.
  • Step 6: Compare H2O with other molecules to see if they have a similar arrangement of bonding and lone pairs.
