Following is a molecule with polar bonds whose shape was obtained using the VSEPR theory. Specify the molecular shape of this molecule, and whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. (Hint: In terms of polarity, see whether the dipoles in the molecule cancel or not. A molecule containing polar bonds can be nanpolar if the dipoles cancel each other. You can imagine the dipoles as ropes pulling on the central atom–If the pulls cancel each other, that is, the central atom cannot move, then the molecule is nonpolar. If on the other hand the opposite is true, then the molecule is polar.)

Decide whether the Lewis structure proposed for each molecule is reasonable or not. Note: If two or more atoms have the wrong number of valence electrons around them, just enter the chemical symbol for the atom as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms have the wrong number of electrons around them, enter the symbol O twice.
