How would you answer this Q?

Thank you
Jus look at how many atoms each carbon is bonded to and state the shape so like the first one is tetrahedral bc it’s bonded to four atoms which u learned in y11 vespr theory that they spread out as far as possible resulting in that shape
 

indeed

Oh ok

Would this be right?

(and no need for sigma bonds pi bonds knowledge right?)

Thanks

yea it falls under the chem dotpoint i don't remember it completely but it says that you need to know the shape of the molecules formed b/w carbon atoms depending on the bond that's formed and that encompasses the geometry and angle of the molecules
but sigma bonds and pi bonds are 100% not in the syllabus they're too confusing anyways
