What is the bond angle in the lewis structure of given molecule:
Correct answer: C. 120°
- A. 90°
- B. 104.5°
- C. 120°
- D. 109.5°
Explanation
A molecule with three bonding pairs and no lone pairs around the central atom adopts a trigonal planar geometry. The bonding pairs are arranged equally spaced in a plane at approximately 120° angles.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
