The correct answer is:  2)  "argon" ;  or,  " Ar " ; 
________________________________________________________
                                    → {which is the corresponding symbol for "argon"                                            in the "Periodic Table of Elements"}.
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
Note that among the answer choices provided;  
Answer choice:  " 3)  "hydrogen sulfide" {sic} is misspelled and is supposed to be:    " 3)  hydrogen sulfide " . 
________________________________________________________

Note that "argon" {" Ar " } is one single element.  "Argon"  is one of the 6 (six) "noble gases" , which are all "monatomic" as a gas;  and are:
_________________________________________________________
         1)  helium (He),    2)  neon (Ne),    3)  argon (Ar),    4)  krypton (Kr),   5) xenon,  and:  6)  radon (Rn) .
_________________________________________________________
Let us review the other answer choice provided to see if they are incorrect:
_________________________________________________________
Choice 1)  "oxygen" ; is INCORRECT.  "Oxygen" exists in gaseous form as either:  " O₂ " —"oxygen gas"—which is "diatomic" [has 2 (two) atoms of oxygen per molecule—and as such, NOT "monatomic" ; 
   or:  " O₃ " — "ozone gas" —which is "triatomic" [has 3 (three) atoms of oxygen per molecule—and as such, NOT "monatomic". 
_________________________________________________________
Choice 3)  "hydrogen sulfide" {Note the correct spelling:  "sulfide"} — is INCORRECT.  "Hydrogen sulfide" ;  that is:  " H₂ S " — is a gaseous compound that has 2 (two) atoms of hydrogen per molecule AND 1 (one) atom of sufur per molecule—with a total of 3 (three) atoms per molecule.  Thus, "hydrogen sulfide" is "triatomic" —and as such, NOT "monatomic". 
_________________________________________________________
Choice 4)  "Ammonia" is INCORRECT.  "Ammonia" ; that is:  "NH ₃ " — exists as a gaseous compound that has 1 (one) atom of nitrogen per molecule AND 3 (three) atoms of hydrogen per molecule—with a total of 4 (four) atoms per molecule.  Thus, "ammonia" is "polyatomic" —more specficially, "tetratomic"—and such, NOT "monoatomic".
___________________________________________________________
Shortcut tip:  We can actually rule out Choices 3 and 4 really easily because they are "compounds" (consist of more than one element), which means, at the minimum, they would be "diatomic or having an even greater number of atoms"; and as such:  NOT "monatomic" .

Hope this answer—and explanation—are of help to you!
Best wishes!

A molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair is said to have a ________ shape.
nignag [31]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal

Explanation :

As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.

There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.

Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal
