Solution

Bond angle
It is defined as the angle between the orbitals containing bonding electron pairs around the central atom in a molecule or complex ion.
The bond angle is measured in degrees.
It can be obtained experimentally using spectroscopic methods.
So, the bond angle is the average angle between orbitals containing bonding electron pairs around the central atom in a molecule.
