Answer 2

Answer:

A molecule $AX_{2}$ has two lone pairs over A . It's shape are angular or bent or V-shape.

Explanation:

Given:

• A Molecule $AX_{2}$ has two lone pairs over A

To find:

• Shape of the molecule

Solution:

• In the given molecule $AX_{2}$ ,
• The central atom = A
• Around the atom A has 4 pairs ( 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs)
• 2 lone pairs are considered as 2 σ bonds
• The atom A has two lone pairs therefore it has 2 bond
• X also has 2 bond
• Total bonds present in the molecule is  4
• Due to the presence of 4 bonds the hybridization of the given molecule is $sp^{3}$.
• Therefore the shape of the given molecule is angular or bent or V-shape

If there are 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pair of electrons the geometry of electrons will be angular , bent or V - shape.

Example : $H_{2}O$
