On what factor does the direction of a bond around the central atom depend?
(N/A) The direction of a bond around the central atom depends on the spatial orientation of the hybrid or atomic orbitals of the central atom before bond formation.
This is because the overlapping of atomic orbitals occurs along the axis where the electron density is concentrated,which determines the direction of the resulting covalent bond.
