(a)
Interpretation:
The geometric arrangement for the atoms that have 3 charge clouds should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.
Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure
(b)
