In a regular octahedral molecule MX(6) ...

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

A

Two

B

Six

C

Four

D

Three

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In octahedral molecule, six hybrid orbital are directed towards the corners of a regular octahedron with a bond angle of `90^@`
Here X-M-X bonds at `180^@` must be three.
