Consider a hypothetical molecule, X₂Y₄Z₆, where X, Y, and Z represent three different elements. The molecule is composed of two X atoms, four Y atoms, and six Z atoms. Each X atom is connected to three Y atoms, and each Y atom is connected to one X atom and two Z atoms. Furthermore, each Z atom is connected to three Y atoms. Based on this information, determine the molecular formula and provide a detailed analysis of the hybridization states, bond angles, and bond lengths for each atom in the molecule.
