Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question asking us for the following molecular geometries give the possible bond angles in each a linear b Trigano by pyramidal, C, square pyramidal and deep in so for linear, It has to have a bond angle of 180° for Trigana by Pierre middle. It can have angles of 90° 120° And 180° For square pyramidal. It can have bond angles of 90° Or 180°, and lastly for Ben, It has an angle of 0.5 degrees. And these are our answers. Thank you for watching. Bye.
