It is generally envisioned that the atom consisting of a dense, small nuclues is made up of spherical protons and neutrons, yet this nucleus is surrounded by electrons constantly in rapid motion, orbiting the nucleus so frequently that it often covers a larger sphere around it. However, since the electrons are constantly moving, they hold no actual shape, so we call this area in which the electron orbits the nucleus the Electron Cloud. For modeling purposes, an atom is often displayed as a simple sphere with no complexions, but no one knows for sure exactly what these atoms look like upclose.
linear
Trigonal Pyramidal. It is not trigonal planar because there is one lone pair around the central atom, just like the shape of ammonia.
A central atom attached to 3 other atoms, all lying on the same plane.
That would be Trigonal Pyramidal in shape and have an sp3 hybridization.
Trigonal pyramidal

If you mean it by its atomic shape, its a hydrogen atom at both sides and an oxygen atom in the middle. But if you mean it by its normal appearance, then it can take up any shape.
All atoms are a fuzzy, indistinct shape.
The molecular shape of COS (carbonyl sulfide) is linear. This is because the central carbon atom is bonded to the oxygen atom through a double bond and to the sulfur atom through a single bond, with no lone pairs on the central atom.
Shapes of atoms are often undefinable.
The molecular shape of OSbCl3 when antimony (Sb) is the central atom is trigonal bipyramidal. This shape consists of three equatorial chlorine atoms and one axial oxygen atom, with bond angles of 90 degrees and 120 degrees.
The shape of the P atom in H2PO4 is tetrahedral. It has four electron domains around it, leading to a tetrahedral molecular geometry.
Yes, a central atom with two bonds forms a linear shape. The bonded atoms are positioned in a straight line with a bond angle of 180 degrees.

A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
The molecular shape of XeF6 is octahedral. This shape occurs when there are six bond pairs and no lone pairs around the central xenon atom. The six fluorine atoms are positioned at the corners of an octahedron around the xenon atom.
