In a regular octahedral molecule `MX_(6)` the number of `X - M - X` bonds at `180^(@)` is

A

3

B

2

C

6

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In octahedral structure `MX_6` the six hybrid orbitals `(sp^3d^2)` are directed towards the comes of a regular octahedral with an angle `90^@` .According to following structure of `MX_6`, the number of X-M-X bonds at `180^@` must be three.
