Answer:

The correct option is: bent 109°

Explanation:

Covalent molecules are the molecules in which the atoms are linked by covalent bonds. The electrons involved in the formation of a covalent bond are known as shared pair or <u>bond pair of electrons</u>.

The three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms of a molecule in space is known its molecular structure or geometry.

<u>Given molecule</u>: XY₂, having two lone pairs around the central atom X.

Since the molecule XY₂ has <u>two lone pairs</u> and <u>two bond pairs</u> of electrons. Therefore according to the VSEPR theory, the given molecule has a <u>bent molecular geometry with 109° bond angle.</u>
