The next thing that we talked about are the selection of shapes that the molecules that we deal with can have. The five primary shapes that our teacher told us we would be working with are: a trigonal planar molecule has three bonded entities to the central atom and the central atom does not have any lone pairs, a tetrahedral molecule which has 4 bonded entities around one central atom, a linear molecule has two bonded entities to the central atom and this does not have a lone pair, a trigonal pyramidal molecule which has three bonded entities and one lone pair of electrons around the central atom, and a bent molecule which has two bonded entities with two lone pairs of electrons around the central atom.
This is what these five look like:
