Question
**Question 6: Provide the molecular geometry of the following chemicals:**

a. O₂  
b. NO₂  
c. CH₄  

**Explanation:**

In this exercise, students are asked to determine the molecular geometry of the given chemical compounds: oxygen (O₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and methane (CH₄).

- **O₂ (Oxygen):** As a diatomic molecule, oxygen has a linear geometry.  
- **NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide):** This molecule has a bent shape due to the presence of a lone pair on the nitrogen atom.  
- **CH₄ (Methane):** Methane has a tetrahedral geometry with carbon in the center bonded to four hydrogen atoms.
