Predict the shape of the molecule around the indicated atom.

A. linear
B. trigonal planar
C. tetrahedral
D. bent

It can’t be linear or tetrahedral it’s either trogons planar or bent and trogons has the word tri which stands for three so that’s not the answer the answer is bent and through process of elimination I did this thank you from me

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

Well to my expert knowledge and my exquisite calculations i think the the negative ion # 412 is the key to sucess
