  1. Question 1

    Q1. A central atom undergoes sp2 hybridization to form a planar molecule. What is the sum of all three interior bond angles in that plane?

    • A) 180
    • B) 360
    • C) 540
    • D) 720

    Answer: 360

    Explanation: A trigonal planar molecule (sp2) has three 120-degree angles in one plane; 120 times 3 equals 360. 180 only accounts for 1.5 angles.
