A hydrogen sulfide molecule, H2S, has a bent shape, similar to that of a water molecule.
The shape would tend to be trigonal pyramidal. An example would be ammonia, NH3.
The correct answer is: Bent.
A molecule with two bound groups and two lone pairs would have a bent or V-shape molecular geometry. This arrangement results in a bond angle less than 180 degrees between the two bound groups. An example of such a molecule is water (H2O).
An NCl3 molecule would be a trigonal pyramidal because it has one center N atom with 3 Cl surrounding it, but also a lone pair of electrons on the top which bends the molecule downward, forming a trigonal pyramidal. Its electron shape would be tetrahedral, that is when you count the lone pairs of electrons as bonds themselves.
Four atoms bound to a central atom with no lone pairs
Four atoms bound to a central atom with no lone pairs
A tetrahedron.

The molecule that you describe, which would more accurately be written as CCl2F2 is the same shape as a methane molecule; the carbon is in the center, and it is surrounded by a symmetrical arrangement of two chlorine and two fluorine atoms, which are at the points of a tetrahedron.
Tetrahedral. Actually, the molecular shape or geometry is called see-saw. There are five groups around the central sulfur which would make it trigonal bipyramidyl but one of these groups is a pair of electrons which does not contribute to the shape of the molecule. This lone pair is in the three membered ring in order to increase its separation from two of the fluorine-sulfur bonds.
four electrons . four electrons .
It is Triangular pyramid It would be a trigonal pyramidal.
. A linear, nonpolar molecule i just take the test
