Molecular Shape is influenced by 2 things.

1. Repulsion of Electrons in the bonds of a Molecule
2. Number of Atoms joined to the central Atom

Tetrahedral

• Four atoms joined to the central atom.
  

Trigonal Pyramidal

• Three atoms joined to a central atom.
  

Bent

• Two atoms joined to a central atom.
  

Linear

• One atom joined to another atom.
