What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 3 lone pairs on the central atom?

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory states that the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom of a molecule determines the shape or geometry of the molecule.

For a molecule having two bonding pairs  and three lone pairs, the shape should based on a trigonal bipyramid. However, the molecular geometry is linear with a bond angle of 180 degrees.

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >

i'm wiling to try and you : )
