    90°

    Explanation:

    A molecule with an octahedral shape has a central atom bonded by six atoms or groups of atoms with no lone pairs of electron. The ideal bond angles is 90°. Examples of compounds with octahedral shape are sulfur hexafluoride SF₆ and molybdenum hexacarbonyl Mo (CO) ₆

    For a molecule with an octahedral shape:

    Number of Electron Groups = 6

    Electron-Group Geometry = octahedral

    Number of Lone Pairs = 0

    Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Notation = AX₆E₀ or AX₆

    Ideal Bond Angles = 90°
