The correct Answer is:
To determine the bond angles in a molecule formed by `sp^3d^2` hybridization, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Hybridization The hybridization `sp^3d^2` indicates that there are 6 hybrid orbitals formed from one s orbital, three p orbitals, and two d orbitals. ### Step 2: Determine the Steric Number The steric number is calculated as the number of atoms bonded to the central atom plus the number of lone pairs on the central atom. For `sp^3d^2` hybridization, the steric number is 6, which typically corresponds to an octahedral geometry. ### Step 3: Understand the Geometry In an octahedral geometry, the arrangement of the atoms around the central atom is such that there are 6 positions where the atoms can be placed. This arrangement leads to specific bond angles. ### Step 4: Identify Bond Angles In a perfect octahedral structure, the bond angles between the atoms are: - 90 degrees between adjacent atoms in the same plane. - 180 degrees between atoms that are directly opposite each other. ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the bond angles in a molecule with `sp^3d^2` hybridization are primarily 90 degrees and 180 degrees. ### Final Answer The bond angle in a molecule formed by `sp^3d^2` hybridization is **90 degrees**. ---
