Octahedral molecular geometry is a three-dimensional shape that occurs when a central atom is surrounded symmetrically by six other atoms or groups of atoms (ligands). In this arrangement, the central atom is positioned at the center of an octahedron, and the six surrounding atoms occupy the corners of this geometric shape. Key characteristics of octahedral molecular geometry include: 1. **Bond Angles**: The bond angles between the atom pairs are all 90 degrees, providing a symmetrical arrangement.
