One linear, which is not an option, is x, y, 2, with no loan pairs.
00:09
But another linear, which is available, is x, y, 2, z3.
00:18
If we have three lone pairs and two bonding pairs, we end up with a linear molecule bent at 120.
00:34
This will follow this.
00:37
Bent at 120 degrees is going to be x, y, 2, z.
00:48
And then bent at 109 .5 degrees is going to be a tetrahedral structure where we have two lone pairs.
01:01
So tetrahedral means four overall.
01:04
So it'll be y2, z2...
