- Use the Molecule Shape simulator (http://openstaxcollege.org/I/6MolecShape) to build a molecule. Starting with the central atom, click on the double bond to add one double bond. Then add one single bond and one lone pair. Rotate the molecule to observe the complete geometry. Name the electron group geometry and molecular structure and predict the bond angle. Then click the check boxes at the bottom and right of the simulator to check your answers.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following molecules is polar or nonpolar. The molecular geometry is given in parentheses. a. NF3 (trigonal pyramidal with N at the apex) b. NF2Cl (trigonal pyramidal with N at the apex) c. CS2 (linear with C in the center position) d.
