Two straight bonds equally opposite

Three straight bonds at equal opposites each other

Two straight bonds beside each other. One dotted and triangle bonds beside each other.

One straight bond. One dotted bond. One triangle bond. One lone bond.

Two straight lines leaning downwards. 1 or 2 lone pairs.

Three straight bonds at 90 degree angles from each other. One dotted line and one triangle line closer to one another.

Two straight bonds opposite each other vertically. Two dotted bonds opposite each other in the upper horizontal. Two triangle bonds opposite each other in the lower horizontal.

Two lone pairs opposite each other vertically. Two dotted bonds opposite each other in the upper horizontal. Two triangle bonds opposite each other in the lower horizontal.

Valence electron pairs surrounding an atom tend to repel each other. The greater the repulsion, the higher in energy (less stable) the molecule is.
