| Hey plumber, by any chance do you know some examples of molecular structures? | |

| Sure, there is linear which has a bond angle of 180 and can have 1 or 2 bonding pairs of electrons like CO2. Then there's trigonal planar which a bond angle of 120 and has 3 bonding pairs of electrons | |

| like BCl3. The last one is tetrahedral, it has 3 different shapes. There's the shape tetrahedral which has a bond angle of 109.5 and has 4 bonding pairs of electrons like CH4. There's also trigonal | |

| pyramidal which has a bond angle of <109.5, 1lone pair and 3 bonding pairs like NH3. The last shape is bent, it has a bond angle of <109.5, 2 lone pairs and 2 bonding pairs of electrons like H2O. | |
