a. A molecule with a central atom surrounded by two singly-bonded atoms and two lone pairs

b. A molecule surrounded by three atoms and one lone pair

c. A molecule surrounded by three atoms and no lone pairs

d.A molecule with a central atom surrounded by two doubly-bonded atoms.

e. A molecule that contains only two atoms

thank you very much ;)
