(a)
Interpretation:
The shape of the given molecule by drawing Lewis structure and applying VSEPR theory is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The Lewis structures are also called electron dot structures. In the Lewis structure, electrons are denoted by dots. These dots represent the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an element.
