511. trigonal planar

Start with the Lewis structure of BCl3:

The lines between the boron and each of the chlorine atoms represent bonding pairs of electrons. There are no other pairs on the boron, and the additional pairs on the noncentral atoms aren’t important in determining molecular geometry. Because boron has only three pairs, the bonds will be at 120° angles, yielding a trigonal planar structure.

512. linear

Bromine, Br2, is diatomic, so it has only one bonding pair area. Therefore, it’s linear in shape.

513. tetrahedral

Start by drawing the Lewis structure of CH4:
