How does a lone pair contribute to molecular shape?A.It is too small to affect the molecule's shape.B.It forces the molecule into a tetrahedral shape.C.It lets the bonding pairs spread out more.D.It takes up space like an "invisible" atom.SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

A central atom in a molecule has two lone pairs of electrons and forms three single bonds. The shape of this molecule is:

What causes a molecule to have a bent shape instead of linear?A.Lone electron pairs pushing the bonding electrons out of lineB.Repulsion between protons forcing the bonding atoms out of lineC.Intermolecular forces pushing the atoms out of line and toward each otherD.Attractions between the bonding atoms pulling the bonds toward each otherSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
