Question
The three-dimensional structure of a generic molecule is given.

Identify the axial and equatorial atoms in the three-dimensional structure.

The diagram displayed is a three-dimensional molecular structure resembling a trigonal bipyramidal shape. It has a central atom shown in teal, with five surrounding atoms in gray connected via lines representing chemical bonds.

- The molecule has two distinct positions: three equatorial (in the same plane and forming an equilateral triangle around the central atom) and two axial (perpendicular to the equatorial plane). 

- There is a labeled "Answer Bank" with the options "equatorial" and "axial" to fill the blank label boxes adjacent to each atom.

What is the shape of this molecule? 

Options for interaction are provided at the bottom for rotating the structure along the X, Y, and Z axes, and for zooming in.
