  1. 2. The stable, fixed positions that atoms in a molecule maintain due to the repulsion and attraction forces between subatomic particles.
  2. 4. Subatomic particle that is outside the nucleus and determines an atom's bonding behavior.
  3. 5. The region of space around the nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found.
  4. 6. The 180-degree bond angle is characteristic of this molecular geometry.
  5. 7. The central subatomic particle that has a positive charge.
  6. 9. The geometric shape of a molecule with two single bonds and two lone pairs on the central atom
