Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 238
Question: In a regular octahedral molecule, $ MX_6 $ , the number $ X-M-X $ bonds at 180° is [CBSE PMT 2004]
Options:
A) Six
B) Four
C) Three
D) Two
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In octahedral molecule six hybrid orbitals directed towards the corner of a regular octahedron with a bond angle of 90°. according to this geometry, the number of $ X-M-X $ bond at 180° must be three.
