If the species is neutral compound whether the black sphere in the given molecular shape can represent selenium or not is to be determined. Concept introduction: The molecular shape is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in the molecule. It depends on the bond pairs as well as lone pairs. The molecular geometry table is as follows: Steric number or Number electron groups Number of lone pairs Molecular geometry 2 0 Linear 3 0 Trigonal planar 1 Bent 4 0 Tetrahedral 1 Trigonal pyramidal 2 Bent 5 0 Trigonal bipyramidal 1 Sea-saw 2 T-shaped 3 Linear 6 0 Octahedral 1 Square pyramidal 2 Square planar

Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
If the species is anion whether the black sphere in the given molecular shape can represent nitrogen or not is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When a neutral atom gains electrons, it acquires a negative charge on it due to the presence of excess electrons as compared to the protons. This results in the formation of the anion. When a neutral atom loses electrons, it acquires a positive charge on it due to the presence of excess protons as compared to the electrons. This results in the formation of the cation.

Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The charge on the species is to be determined if the black sphere represents a bromine atom.
