How do multiple unbonded pairs of electrons affect the shape of a molecule?
The shape of a molecule follows the electron pair geometry. It makes no difference if the lone pairs are bonding or not when it comes to the electron pair geometry and the basic shape of the molecule. Once you have determined the electron pair geometry, then the molecular geometry depends on the number of lone pairs.
