(a)
Interpretation:
By the use of wedge-bond perspective drawing position of atoms for V-shaped molecular shape is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
VSEPR theory is based on the repulsions between the electrons pair in the valence shell. According to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the position of the electron pairs to minimize the repulsion, and maximize the stability.
According to VSEPR theory, the table for molecular geometries when the central atom has no lone pair is as follows:

- Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4- 1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer.
