Shapes and bond angles

For each shape, state the number of bonding pairs, the bond angle/s and give an example.

For each bond angle/s and number of bonding pairs, state the shape.

For each named example, state the shape and the bond angle/s.

?
Linear
2 bonding pairs. bond angle: 180 degrees. e.g. BeCl2
