    Molecules can have different shapes depending on the number of lone pairs and bonded atoms around a central atom. Linear molecules have one bonded atom on each side of the central atom. Other molecule shapes include trigonal planar, pyramidal, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral based on the number of lone pairs and bonded atoms.
