Choose from these*:      O2         Cl2        H2O       CO2       CH4       NH3       N2

 

8.  has a tetrahedral shape

 

9.  has a triple covalent bond

 

10.  two unshared electron pairs on the central atom results in a polar molecule with a bent shape

 

11.  no unshared electron pairs on the central atom results in a triatomic linear molecule

 

12.  one unshared electron pair on the central atom results in a trigonal pyramid shape
