11 a) To obtain a square planar arrangement, we need an octahedral VSEPR shape (6 electron pairs) with two
lone pairs on the central atom. Thus

b) To obtain a pyramidal arrangement, we need an tetrahedral VSEPR shape (4 electron pairs) with one
lone pair on the central atom. Thus

c) To obtain a T-shaped arrangement, we need an trigonal bipyramid VSEPR shape (5 electron pairs)
with two lone pairs on the central atom. Thus
