    The answer is: trigonal planar.

    VSEPR theory (The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) uses the AXE notation (m and n are integers, m + n = number of regions of electron density).

    For oxygen molecule (O₂):

    m = 1; the number of atoms bonded to the central atom.

    n = 2; the number of lone pairs on the central atom.

    Atom of oxygen has sp2 hybrudization and shape of the molecule is linear.
