trigonal pyramidal

What elements have the smallest value for first ionization energy

The alkali earth metals have the smallest first ionization energies.

What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is gained

The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius

How should more than one polyatomic ion be indicated in a chemical formula

More than one polyatomic ion should be indicated in a chemical formula by putting parentheses around the atoms in the ions and then adding a subscript.

How does a lone pair distort molecular shape

The lone pair forced bonding atoms away from itself

How does a lone pair contribute to the molecular shape

The lone pair repels the electrons of the adjacent bonds more so than does a bonding pair of electrons, so thus alters the molecular geometry of the molecule.
