A Lewis structure is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule that does not necessarily show what shape that molecule would take in three dimensions. From the given Lewis structure and what you know about VSEPR theory, identify the shape of the molecule. X-Y x linear tetrahedral O trigonal pyramidal octahedral trigonal bipyramidal bent
