Answer:

180 degrees!

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have linear molecular geometry, you may imagine a line that looks somewhat similar to this X------C-------X. C is our central atom, and the X's are our other atoms. Here, due to VSEPR theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory), the bond angle would be 180 degrees.
