Describe the molecular structure of HCl (Hydrogen Chloride) using dot structures and bonds.
H--Cl with six dots around the chlorine.
Which molecule has a pyramidal shape?
A. Methane (CH4)
B. Carbon dioxide (CO2)

In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom has two unshared pairs of electrons and two bonding pairs of electrons. How do the unshared pairs affect the bond angle?
They push the bonding pairs closer together, making the bond angle smaller.
