Bent/Angular Shape

[Isabel Nakoud 4D]

Can I assume that "angular" shape is the same as saying "bent" shape?

[305154707]

Yes I believe that the two terms are interchangeable. Bent and angular shapes occur when there are two bonded atoms occurring with an electron pair or several electron pairs.

[Kavya Juwadi 3C]

A bent molecule can also refer to a molecule with two bonds and one lone pair or a molecule with two bonds and two lone pairs.

[Henri_de_Guzman_3L]

They are the same, I've only heard of "bent" in my previous chem classes, I have never used angular. According to the book, they are the same

[Connie Chen 3D]

Yes, they are the same. However, I would use "bent" instead of "angular" cause bent is the one that is most commonly used.
