An AB2E2 molecule has two atoms and two lone pairs surrounding the central atom. This is the situation is water. The molecule will have a bent shape and the bond angle will probably as in water (105 0) be less than tetrahedral 109.5 0 )- due to lone pair - bond repulsion.

The VSEPR formula for a molecule of type AB2E2 tells you that the molecule is made up of what?

The molecule is made up of one central atom (A) bonded to two identical atoms (B) and two lone pair electrons (E). This arrangement results in a tetrahedral shape where the lone pairs are placed in opposite positions to minimize repulsion.
