Answer»

Following steps can be followed to get determine the bond angle :

1. Draw Lewis dot structure of the given molecule and count the number of bonding and non-bonding electron groups (also known as Steric Number).

2.Use the Steric number and VSEPR theory to determine the geometry of the molecule (or electron domain geometries). {Refer to figure}

3.Use VSEPR shape to determine the angle between electron domain.

For example, for linear molecule there are two electron domain . Angle =360/(number of electron domain) =360/2 =180.
