There, in this question, we are given a sample molecule that has this basic shape, which when we're talking about shapes of molecules, we would call this bent.
00:21
And it says that it's just showing us the general geometry.
00:27
So the general geometry is bent, but i don't believe that we can take the bond angles as being exact there.
00:36
So we're looking for any bent molecule, but the bond angle.
00:40
Is approximately 109 or 120.
00:49
All right, so that's what i'm looking for here, since it says we're just looking for that general shape.
00:55
So the general shape is bent.
00:57
So let's look at what we have here.
00:59
We have h to o to cl.
01:02
Well, if we draw its structure, the oxygen as the central atom has two atoms bonded and two lone pairs.
01:16
So that means that we would have a bent molecule.
01:21
So that one, h -o -c -l, is bent.
01:30
Let's look at our next one, co2.
01:33
When we write the lewis structure for co2, it has two double bonds, and therefore it is linear...
