(a)

Interpretation Introduction

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:

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Electron}\text{groups}& \text{Geometry}& \text{Ideal bond angle}\\ 2& \text{Linear}& 180°\\ 3& \text{Trigonal}\text{Planar}& 120°\\ 4& \text{Tetrahedral}& 109.5°\\ 5& \text{Trigonal}\text{bipyramidal}& 90°,120°\\ 6& \text{Octahedral}& 90°\end{array}$
