Answer:-
There are three basic steps to determining the bond angles in a molecule:
Explanation:-
1.) Write the Lewis dot structure for the molecule or atom.
Assume that you must determine the bond angles in BF3.
B is less electro negative than F, so B becomes the central atom.
If we have three F atoms, that means that we are going to use all three electrons from the B.
2.) Use the VSEPR theory to determine the electron geometry of the molecule.
3.) And use VSEPR shape to determine the angles between the electron domains.
