**Question:**If a molecule has bond angles of 109.5° between the atoms, what type of hybrid orbitals are on the central atom in the molecule?**Options:**- ○ sp- ○ sp²- ○ sp³**Explanation:**This question is asking about the type of hybridization that occurs in a molecule with specific bond angles. If the bond angles are 109.5°, this typically indicates that the central atom is using sp³ hybrid orbitals. This is characteristic of a tetrahedral geometry, where the central atom forms four equivalent bonds.- **sp hybridization** usually involves linear molecules with a bond angle of 180°.- **sp² hybridization** involves trigonal planar molecules with bond angles of approximately 120°.

Hybridization is the mixing of orbitals having same characteristics of orbitals.
