You'll have to use the tools at your disposal, be it experiment or quantum chemical analysis, even VSEPR may give you a good starting point. However, don't expect to much accuracy from the latter. | |

If so, then, is it possible to predict the bond angle of $\ce{SnCl2}$ - i.e. whether it will be near $90^\circ$, $120^\circ$ or $180^\circ$ (only an approximation) - just from the atoms involved ($\ce{Sn}$ and $\ce{Cl}$)? | |
| Feb 4, 2018 at 9:15 | comment | added | Martin - マーチン♦ | @GaurangTandon it applies in the way that the geometry is reason for a hybridisation concept and not the other way around. It doesn't matter which atoms are involved, it only matters how the atoms are arranged. (In this kind of approximation.) | |

Those answers talk about mainly the hydrides, while this question is about the chloride (of tin). Then, how can you say that the theory - that applies to hydride - will also apply to the chloride? Thanks for the answer! | |
