Make a table (see example). Choose compounds from the list below to fill your table with
two examples each of the five basic shapes, one example being a polar molecule the other
nonpolar molecule. Some shapes are not conducive to a polar molecule therefore if you
cannot find a polar example then it’s OK to state that and both of your examples can be
non-polar molecules. Choose your compounds from the list below.
