The molecular shape of A4B, where A represents a central atom surrounded by four identical atoms (A) and one different atom (B), typically adopts a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In this arrangement, the four A atoms can form a planar tetrahedral arrangement around the equatorial plane, while the B atom occupies an axial position. This results in a 5-coordinate geometry, with bond angles of 120° in the equatorial plane and 90° between the axial and equatorial positions. However, the exact shape may vary depending on the specific steric and electronic effects of the atoms involved.
The molecular shape of CIF2 is linear. This is because there are only two atoms bonded with the central atom, which results in a linear molecular geometry.
F2 has a linear shape.
pyramidal
H2S has two lone pairs.They make it a bent.
Silane has a tetrahedral molecular shape. It consists of a central silicon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms, resulting in a shape similar to a regular tetrahedron.
The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
The molecular shape name for C3H8 is a tetrahedron.
Parent Shape: Trigonal bipyrimidal Actual shape: Trigonal Planar
V-shape
A compound that does not have a bent molecular shape is carbon dioxide (CO2). It has a linear molecular shape due to the arrangement of the three atoms in a straight line.
The molecular shape of CIF2 is linear. This is because there are only two atoms bonded with the central atom, which results in a linear molecular geometry.
The molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule is linear. Magnesium has a +2 charge, while hydride has a -1 charge, resulting in a linear molecular shape.

The shape of SF4 is Sea Saw
F2 has a linear shape.
The bond angle in silicon disulfide (SiS2) is approximately 105 degrees, and the molecular shape is bent/angular.
