Question

1. what shape is the following: (0.5 points) *

$c_2h_2$
linear
bent
trigonal pyramidal
trigonal planar
tetrahedral

1. what shape is the following: (0.5 points) *

$h_2s$
linear
bent
trigonal pyramidal
trigonal planar
tetrahedral

Explanation:

Step1: Determine shape of \(C_2H_2\)

\(C_2H_2\) has linear structure (\(H-C\equiv C-H\)).

Step2: Determine shape of \(H_2S\)

\(H_2S\) has 2 bonding pairs + 2 lone pairs on S, bent shape.

Answer:

1. Linear
2. Bent
