- Trigonal bipyramidal
- With 2 lone pairs
- Bond angle would be 90*. The shape is now T-shaped
- With 1 lone pair
- The lone pair would be in one of the equatorial positions. The bond angle would be 118*
- With 2 lone pairs
- Tetrahedral
- With 1 lone pair
- Bond angle becomes 107*. This shape is trigonal pyramidal.
- With 2 lone pairs
- Bond angle becomes 104.5*. This shape is now bent or V-shaped.
- With 1 lone pair
- Octahedral
- With 2 lone pairs
- Bond angles are 90*. The shape is now square planar.
- With 1 lone pair
- Bond angle is 90*. The shape is now square pyramidal.
- With 2 lone pairs
- Trigonal bipyramidal
