How to find bond angle based on electron and molecular shape

1 Answer

6 votes

Answer:

The bond angles depend on the number of lone electron pairs. For example, boron trichloride has no lone pairs, a trigonal planar shape and bond angles of 120 degrees. The trioxygen molecule O3 has one lone pair and forms a bent shape with bond angles of 118 degrees.
