Question

Provide specific examples of the following: A T-shaped molecule with an AX_3 E_2 molecular structure (A = central atom, X = atoms bound to central atom, and E = non-bonding electron pair of the central atom) A linear molecule with an AX_2 E_3 molecular structure (A = central atom, X = atoms bound to central atom, and E = non-bonding electron pair of the central atom) A square planar shaped molecule with a AX_4 E_2 molecular structure (A = central atom, X = atoms bound to central atom, and E = non-bonding electron pair of the central atom) A square pyramidal shaped molecule with a AX_5 E_1 molecular structure (A = central atom, X = atoms bound to central atom, and E = non-bonding electron pair of the central atom)
