Use the VSEPR model to predict the bond angles about each highlighted atom.
Use the VSEPR model to predict the bond angles about each atom of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in these molecules. (Hint: First, add unshared pairs of electrons as necessary to complete the valence shell of each atom and then predict the bond angles.)
