Otetrahedral

Olinear

Ooctahedral

1 answer

The molecular geometry of a molecule with one bond and three lone pairs is described as angular or bent. This is typically seen in molecules that have a central atom with a total of four regions of electron density (including lone pairs and bonds). Therefore, the correct option to describe the molecular geometry in this case would be:

O angled

(though "angular" or "bent" is often the preferred terminology in chemistry).
