The four main types of molecular shapes are linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and octahedral. Linear shapes occur when molecules have two bonding pairs with no lone pairs, while trigonal planar shapes arise from three bonding pairs with no lone pairs. Tetrahedral shapes feature four bonding pairs, and octahedral shapes consist of six bonding pairs. These geometries are determined by the arrangement of electron pairs around a central atom, following VSEPR theory.

Can you draw more different kinds of 3-sided shapes or 4-sided shapes?

4-sided shapes, because if you think about it, triangles (3-sided shapes) aren't that varied in sizes and types. 4-sided shapes can be as crazy as possible, so... yeah. 4-sided shapes are definitely more varied in drawing forms.

What are the four types of 3D shapes?

There are a lot more than 4 types. Some simple examples: regular polyhedra, other polyhedra, star shapes, ellipoids (including spheres), toroids (like cycle inner tubes), shapes with two "holes" in them, totally irregular blobby shapes.
