Match each molecule with its molecular geometry according to VSEPR theory:
`(a) NH_(4)^(+)" " (b) N_(3)^(-)" "(c) CO_(3)^(2-)" "(d) SO_(2)`
The choices are linear, angular, trigonal planar and tetrahedral.

To solve the problem of matching each molecule with its molecular geometry according to VSEPR theory, we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze NH₄⁺ (Ammonium Ion) - **Bond Pairs:** 4 (from 4 hydrogen atoms) - **Lone Pairs:** 0 (no lone pairs on nitrogen) - **Hybridization:** sp³ (since there are 4 bond pairs) - **Molecular Geometry:** Tetrahedral ...
