Re: Shape
The two terms "angular" and "bent" are interchangeable. Both refer to molecules with three groups of electrons and one lone pair.
Hope this helps!

Re: Shape
Electron pairs DO affect the structure of a compound by creating electron repulsion between them which has a specific angle. 3 Pairs and 1 bond results in different shapes And this is how they define these shapes, by the way the lone electrons and the bonds interact between each other. Recall the VESPR method.
