You did not give the property of element x but if gone through your question it will follow angular shape just like H2O

Shape of the molecule AX2 is linear.
Explanation:
- Here the molecule has 2 lone pairs over A.
- The molecule which has two bond pairs and no lone pair will have a repulsive force
- In order to minimize the repulsive force between the two bond pairs, the shape of the molecule will have a linear geometry.
- As per VSEPR theory, the molecule AX2 will have a linear geometry and an angle of 180 degrees, here it will have two lone pairs and two bonding pairs.
- Such type of geometry is found in Carbon dioxide molecule
