Oh, dude, molecule x-y-x has a linear shape with bond angles of 180 degrees. It's like a straight line, you know? So, if you're ever in a geometry competition and they ask about x-y-x, just remember it's as straight as a ruler.

The shape of a molecule with the general formula X-Y-X depends on the number of lone pairs on the central atom Y. If Y has no lone pairs and the surrounding atoms X are the same, the molecule will have a linear shape with bond angles of 180 degrees. If Y has one or more lone pairs, the shape will be trigonal planar, bent, or another shape depending on the number of lone pairs and atoms attached to Y. The bond angles in these cases will deviate from the ideal angles due to lone pair repulsion.

Well, darling, molecule x-y-x is linear with bond angles of 180 degrees. It's like a straight line, no frills or fuss. Just two atoms bonded to a central atom, keeping it simple and straightforward.

It depends on what x and y are.
