Most molecules have more than one "central" atom. At this point, we can no longer describe the shape of the entire molecule with a single phrase, but we can talk about the shape around each of the central atoms and predict the approximate bond angles. The key to doing this is to start by drawing the Lewis structure. Let's draw CH3NH2 including all hydrogens explicitly and all lone pairs. This will allow us to then make predictions using the VSEPR model. Before you move on to the next question, predict using your drawing what the shapes are around each central atom ( C and N )
