Questions: Complete each Lewis structure by adding lone pairs to give each atom an octet. If no lone pairs are needed, check "There are no missing lone pairs."
For each indicated atom in the Lewis structure, identify its shape.
Part 1 of 2
There are no missing lone pairs.
Shape around the bold red C atom: Tetrahedral

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Lewis Structure
Examine the given Lewis structure to determine if any lone pairs are missing.
Step 2: Check for Lone Pairs
Verify that each atom has a complete octet (8 electrons) by adding lone pairs if necessary.
Step 3: Confirm the Shape
Identify the shape around the indicated atom (bold red C atom) and confirm it is tetrahedral.
Final Answer
There are no missing lone pairs. Shape around the bold red C atom: Tetrahedral.
