Question

which option correctly shows the bond angle of a linear molecule? (1 point) 80 degrees 109.5 degrees 180 degrees 120 degrees

Explanation:

In molecular geometry, a linear molecule has a bond angle of 180 degrees. This is because the atoms in a linear molecule are arranged in a straight line, so the angle between the bonds is 180°. The other options: 90° is typical for octahedral or square planar (in part) geometries, 109.5° is for tetrahedral, and 120° is for trigonal planar. So the correct bond angle for a linear molecule is 180 degrees.

Answer:

180 degrees (the option with "180 degrees")
