  1. which vsepr molecular shape has two bonding pairs of electrons and two lone pairs of electrons?

linear
color blue
trigonal planar
color yellow
bent
color green

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to VSEPR theory, when a molecule has two bonding pairs of electrons and two lone pairs of electrons, the electron - pair geometry is tetrahedral. However, the molecular shape (considering only the positions of the atoms) is bent. The linear shape has two bonding pairs and no lone pairs ($AX_2$), and the trigonal planar shape has three bonding pairs and no lone pairs ($AX_3$).

Answer:

bent
