upon looking at it, this molecule is bent
if you draw out the diagram for it, you can see that the central atom has 4 domains, 2 bonding and 2 nonbonding(lone pairs)pairs.
when getting the molecular shape, we ignore the 2 lone pairs, and going from tetrahedral -->removing 2 domains
we are left with a bent shape molecule
